The evidence against a man who allegedly tried to stab his wife to death has been discussed in court.

Geoffrey Ernest White was charged with alleged attempted murder of Amy White at their Frenchville home on September 3.

The evidence against a man who allegedly tried to stab his wife to death has been discussed in court.

Police will allege Geoffrey Ernest White, 52, had been drinking the afternoon before he allegedly stabbed his wife, Amy White, 38, repeatedly on September 3, 2023.

Defence lawyer Samantha Legrady told the Supreme Court in Rockhampton during an update on the case on March 6 that there was only one statement still outstanding.

She told the court a week earlier that she had received most of the brief of evidence, with two statements outstanding.

Police prosecutor Sergeant David Longhurst said the last outstanding statement had been completed and was now being “peer reviewed”.

Emergency services were called to the Constantia Crescent, Frenchville, home just after 7pm on September 3.

Police will allege Ms White sustained cuts to her upper chest and neck but was able to call triple-zero herself before she was rushed to Rockhampton Hospital in a critical condition and underwent “life-saving surgery”.

Mr White was charged the following morning with attempted murder and is in custody at Maryborough Correctional Centre.

The couple were married in 2013 and shared two young children together.

Mr White’s charges will be next mentioned on March 20 and he has been remanded in custody.
