A Rockhampton man's 47th birthday started with his partner admitting she had cheated on him and ended in hospital after he attempted to murder the man involved in the love triangle.
For this, Daniel John Shields, 49, was sentenced on Wednesday (March 17) to 14 years prison and a serious violent offender declaration was made, meaning he has to serve at least 80 per cent of his sentence - 11.2 years.
Shields was found guilty by a jury in the Supreme Court of Rockhampton on November 27, 2020, of the attempted murder of Raymond Jarvis on February 6, 2019, at a Gracemere residence.
