Man sentenced for fatal stabbing of Christchurch woman

A life sentence for a man who randomly stabbed a mother of four to death outside her Christchurch home will never heal her family's grief. 52 year old Laisa Waka Tunidau lay bleeding on the concrete in her Sockburn street in June, as her son watched out the window. Her killer Zakariye Mohamed Hussein had escaped from a forensic mental health unit at Hillmorton Hospital just before the attack. Niva Chittock was at today's sentencing.
