Father-of-three Nathan Frazer died shortly after the stabbing attack at Murrumba Downs, north of Brisbane, on July 12, 2018.
Lee Matthew Hillier, 41, is charged with murdering Mr Frazer, while Helen Mary Anderson and Charmaine Elizabeth Blessington are accused of being accessories after the murder.
Mr Frazer sustained one stab wound about 15cm deep and another about 4.5cm, Dr Christopher Day told a committal hearing in Brisbane Magistrates Court on Thursday.
There were a total of 17 injuries on his body including a fractured rib likely caused by the knife used to stab him, Dr Day said.
David Sinclair, who lived near to where Mr Frazer died, told the hearing he heard two men yelling in a "heated" manner.
About a minute after they stopped he heard a woman scream.
Hillier was arrested on the day Mr Frazer died following a four-hour siege at a hotel in Carseldine in Brisbane's north.
Five years earlier he was involved in another stand-off with police when he produced a gun in the Queen Street Mall. He was handed a four-and-a-half year jail term for that crime.
The committal hearing has been adjourned until September 16.
