Aussie woman guilty of 'barking dog' murder

A Sydney woman has been found guilty of fatally stabbing a man after he complained about her barking dog.

On his way home from alcohol-fuelled Australia Day celebrations with a friend in 2007, Joseph Durrant, 47, argued with his neighbour about her dog.

The dog's owner, Katrina Megan Whitmore, 26, threatened Mr Durrant before physically attacking him over his comments.

Whitmore's co-accused Steven Spiro Sotiropoulos, 34, joined in the fracas in Phyllis Street, Mt Pritchard, and Mr Durrant was fatally stabbed.

The jury at their NSW Supreme Court murder trial began deliberations on Monday morning and on Wednesday morning found Whitmore guilty of murder.
