A man who murdered a prominent Melbourne interior decorator he'd been in a relationship with for 16 years has been jailed for 18 years with a minimum of 13.

Victorian Supreme Court judge Elizabeth Hollingworth said Michael Anthony O'Neill, 48, had 'snapped' and killed Stuart Rattle in the heat of the moment after Mr Rattle called him a frigid bitch.

O'Neill spent five days pretending nothing had happened, telling friends and co-workers Mr Rattle was feeling unwell, before setting fire to their South Yarra apartment.

Justice Hollingworth said O'Neill had trouble coming to terms with the fact he had killed the man he loved.

'There's plenty of evidence that you are devastated by what you have done,' Justice Hollingworth said.

O'Neill admitted to killing Mr Rattle by bludgeoning him over the head with a pan then strangling him with a dog leash after police found inconsistencies in his original story - that Mr Rattle had died in the fire. Mr Rattle begged O'Neill for his life, saying 'Michael don't do this', as he was strangled, Justice Hollingworth said.

The couple had a tense relationship and Mr Rattle would often complain about O'Neill to their friends, saying he didn't satisfy him sexually, she said.

'He would call you lazy, a parasite, he threatened to send you back to where you came from.'

But she added this in no way justified O'Neill's actions.

Mr Rattle's family said in witness impact statements his death left an enormous hole in their lives.

Rep. Aaron Schock has had a rough couple of weeks.

It all started when a Washington Post reporter was given an impromptu tour of Schocks D.C. office by the congressmans interior decorator, who told him all about the offices elaborate Downton Abbey-inspired dcor. When the article ran on Feb. 2, Schock and his unusual office began to receive some unwanted attention.

Had the congressman improperly used his campaign funds to furnish his office? Did he pay his interior decorator, a constituent of his, for her service, or had he violated House rules by accepting it as a gift?

Schock initially tried to brush off the controversy.

As Taylor Swift said, haters are gonna hate, he joked to ABC News on Feb. 4, adding that he fully intended to personally pay his decorator once her work is completed.

Unfortunately, for the 33-year-old Illinois Republican, the controversy was just getting started.

On Feb. 4, the same day he spoke with ABC News, the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington asked the Office of Congressional Ethics to investigate whether Schock had violated House rules while setting up his new office.

The next day, his communications director Benjamin Cole, who had initially tried to quash the Washington Post article, resigned after it emerged that he had posted racially insensitive comments on social media in previous years.

Last Friday, Blue Nation Review was the first to report that in 2012, Schock sold his Peoria, Illinois, home to a major campaign donor for several times its assessed property value, which led CREW to file a second complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics.
