The man who murdered Indigenous woman Ms Woodley in her Boorloo/Perth home has been jailed for more than twenty years.

Peter Damjanovic, her former partner, violently attacked Ms Woodley, with his fists, a towel rail and a shower head, in August 2023.

The 35 year-old woman suffered more than 70 injuries in what Justice Natalie Whitby described as a "deliberate, persistent, violent and cruel" attack.

In the WA Supreme Court on Thursday, the judge sentenced Damjanovic to life in prison with a minimum of 21 years.

Damjanovic, who is now 39, and Ms Woodley, 35, had two children together - aged five and six at the time of the murder. She also had a daughter who was 15 at that time.

The ABC reports the court was told Damjanovic had been drinking and using methamphetamine in the lead up to the fatal assault.

The court head he had attacked Ms Woodley in another part of her Bedford home before forcing her into the bathroom, where he hit her with a shower head and a towel rail.

The ABC reports that graphic descriptions of her injuries were read to the court.

Damjanovic had a criminal record and a history of violence against Ms Woodley, and was on bail for assault causing bodily harm, involving another victim, at the time of the murder.

Ms Woodley had taken out multiple violence restraining orders against Damjanovic, including one filed three months before her death.

Last October, Damjanovic - who has been in custody since 2023 - entered a guilty plea, having originally entered a plea of not guilty in May, 2024.

Speaking outside court, Ms Woodley's mother Meretta Kickett welcomed the sentence, the ABC reports.

"Justice was served today," she told media.

"We will always suffer her death as a life sentence.

"We love and miss her every day but she will never be forgotten."

The ABC reports that Ms Woodley's sister, Semisha Kickett said she wanted her sister's death to serve as an opportunity for change, so no other family would have to suffer.

"Domestic violence is far too prevalent within our society and an even more common experience for Aboriginal women," she said.

Ms Kickett described the man who murdered her sister as a "monster".

In December, Ms Woodley's aunt, Rosalia Miller Kickett, urged Western Australians to confront the ongoing toll of domestic violence while speaking at a '16 Days in WA' anti-violence campaign event.
