A disturbing diary entry has exposed the disturbed mind of a man who beat a sex worker in a hotel room, leaving her with permanent brain damage.
Matthew Sean Donaldson, 43, struck a companion with a hammer at the five-star Primus Hotel in Sydney on February 23, 2021.
The escort was left in a pool of blood with bleeding on the brain and severe skull fractures.
Documents filed with the NSW District Court this week revealed that Donaldson had written tasks for himself in the lead up, with a to-do list that included the phrase “practice killing”.

The written assignments (pictured) were part of documents submitted to the New South Wales District Court at his sentencing this week, which included medical reports and handwritten letters.
Donaldson met the 26-year-old in February, where they were seen smiling at each other in the elevator (pictured) going up to their hotel room.
The words ‘pistol practice’ and ‘purchase tool’ were struck out with ‘Uber to Bunnings’ and ‘Just Do It’ also written on the page.
Donaldson later told police that the “practice killing” comments were in reference to a video game he had been playing.
The 43-year-old also wrote that he would hire two escorts.

On the way to the hotel, he had read nine articles about the murder of women in an Uber vehicle and brought a suitcase with articles that included a knife, a gag and a Bunnings hammer.
The couple ordered cheese boards for the occasion before Donaldson cut off her underwear.
But they had a discussion about women selling their bodies for sex with Donaldson saying that the intimate act should be reserved for ‘loves’.
The sex worker then walked away from him to look at her phone before she was hit over the head with a hammer.
