A truck driver brutally killed his lover by stabbing her multiple times as she lay in bed because she refused to kiss him goodbye.

Wayne Ashley O'Sullivan, 50, has been jailed for life for the murder of mother-of-six Michelle Reynolds, 46.

Ms Reynolds was stabbed in the throat and chest as she lay in bed in her home at Rosewood, near Ipswich, Queensland on on April 4, 2016.

The fatal blow severed an artery and vein in her neck, and also punctured Ms Reynolds' lung, slicing through to her back.

O'Sullivan delivered six more blows before the attack finished as she tried to defend herself.

O'Sullivan pleaded guilty to her murder in the Supreme Court in Brisbane on Monday.

Crown prosecutor Vicki Loury told the court when O'Sullivan dressed for work at about 4.30am he tried to kiss Ms Reynolds goodbye but she told him to 'get out' and pushed him away.

O'Sullivan went outside and grabbed his fishing knife from his tackle box before returning to the bedroom where he again tried to kiss Ms Reynolds.

'Again she said go away, just leave me and he said that he then put the knife in her,' Ms Loury said.

O'Sullivan then drove to his aunt's house, where he asked her to call an ambulance for Ms Reynolds

In the weeks prior to the murder, O'Sullivan had started working as a truck driver after being unemployed for three months

O'Sullivan then drove to his aunt's house, where he asked her to call an ambulance for Ms Reynolds.

'The defendant said there had been no previous history of violence between him and Ms Reynolds but they had been arguing over money. He said she accused him of not pulling his weight, of not contributing enough money to the household,' Ms Loury said.

'He said he was doing all he could and she would complain about him working on the weekend when he was doing so to provide money for her. She was, in his words, always at him.'

In the weeks prior to the murder, O'Sullivan had started working as a truck driver after being unemployed for three months.

The couple's financial position had just begun to improve when they received a letter doubling O'Sullivan's child support payments for his own five children

Justice David Boddice said O'Sullivan's actions had sentenced Ms Reynolds' children to lifelong 'vexation'

The couple's financial position had just begun to improve when they received a letter doubling O'Sullivan's child support payments for his own five children.

Justice David Boddice said O'Sullivan's actions had sentenced Ms Reynolds' children to lifelong 'vexation'.

'It appears financial pressures resulted in the relationship deteriorating to the point where you were regularly arguing and on the day in question it became too much,' he said.

O'Sullivan will spend 20 years in prison before being eligible for parole.
