An occult-themed podcaster, known for exploring supernatural topics and conspiracy theories, has confessed to the murder of his girlfriend.
Tobias Marcus Nuttall, aged 32, admitted guilt in Stirling Gardens Magistrates Court on Wednesday for the fatal stabbing of 30-year-old Alisha Lauren Hendren-Krippner at a residence in Perth on August 20.
Hendren-Krippner was rushed to Royal Perth Hospital in critical condition, suffering from multiple injuries, and succumbed to her injuries the same day.
Defense attorney Simon Watters stated that following discussions with the prosecution, both parties concurred that there was “criminal responsibility” on Nuttall’s part.
Appearing via video link with a bushy beard, a cross necklace, and slicked-back, shoulder-length hair, Nuttall remained impassive as he entered his plea.
His case was adjourned to April 13 for mention ahead of his sentence in the WA Supreme Court, at a date to be fixed.
Nuttall was the co-host of a news review podcast called WakingWorld.
In an episode published about a month before Nuttall killed Hendren-Krippner he and a British co-host named Dale discuss werewolves and the “deeper meanings behind Christian practice and what it means to embody or resist our wildest instincts”.
After Nuttall’s arrest, Dale reportedly told their listeners that his co-host would no longer be appearing on the show because had been charged with a serious offence but the episode appears to have been deleted.
