But instead of a final verdict this week, the judge had paused. The brutal attack happened inside a Cayley court home, where Marira allegedly went into a rage, leaving his 41-year-old girlfriend dead from, 21 stab wounds, and severely injuring the others. The now 10-year-old girl showed real courage on the stand, testifying clearly about a computer virus her brother put on Marira's machine that, supposedly, set him off. She took nine stabs. His mother described hiding but still getting attacked, while Marira claimed self-defense, saying voices urged him to fight back after she stabbed, him first.

Still hearing set for April 24th, so the full outcome still pending.
