A Melbourne man who fatally shot his American fiancée while the pair were on the run deep in the Victorian bush has been jailed for 11 years.
Steven Con Samaras, 50, and Tamara Turner, 49, were on the run for smuggling firearms when he unintentionally shot her in the abdomen during a late-night struggle in their caravan.
The bullet hit Ms Turner's aorta and she swiftly bled to death in dense woodland south of Mildura in June 2016.

Samaras gave some futile first aid and hours later placed Ms Turner's body on a bench outside Mildura Base Hospital, giving nurses a false name before taking off in his Jeep.
He later lied to police about what happened, claiming Ms Turner had accidentally shot herself and buried the gun herself.
Eight months earlier, Samaras met Ms Turner on Facebook and proposed within only two hours of meeting.
He asked the Missouri mother-of-two to move to Australia, and she agreed.
They also arranged to post four guns to his Melbourne address from Ms Turner's ex-partner's US gun shop.
But three guns were intercepted by Australian Border Force officers, sparking a police investigation that led to the pair being charged with gun importation.
The pair were released on bail and decided to go on the run, buying a caravan and evading authorities for months until Ms Turner was shot.

Samaras was jailed in the Supreme Court on Friday for at least eight years after pleading guilty to manslaughter
Samaras was jailed in the Supreme Court on Friday for at least eight years after pleading guilty to manslaughter.
Justice Andrew Tinney said Samaras had not meant to shoot or kill Ms Turner but the judge slammed his 'selfish' lies and actions after her death.
'Your selfish behaviour revealed only a concern for yourself,' Justice Tinney said.
'Your failure to seek immediate assistance for her betrayed a disturbing lack of concern and regard for her, which is at odds with your claim of having loved her.'
Samaras was sentenced to 11 years in prison with a non-parole period of eight years.
He had originally been charged with murder but pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter.
Samaras met Ms Turner (pictured) on Facebook and proposed within only two hours of meeting before she decided to leave her life in America and relocate to Australia to be with him

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
