Ashburton murder accused claims partner stabbed himself

"The Crown say at this point, in a moment of extreme anger borne out of the hurtful verbal tirade, she stabbed Mr Hemi in back of the head," McRae said. McRae said Richardson claimed Hemi stabbed himself in the head. You might ask yourself if Mr Hemi had done that to himself - how may that be?" "This case is all about who stabbed Mr Hemi - did he do it to himself, or was the defendant responsible?" "The defendant was responsible for this injury to Mr Hemi … She was angry at him and she took the anger out on him."
