Man on trial for niece's murder
The trial of a 54-year-old man accused of
murdering his 10-year-old niece has begun in Christchurch.
Charlene Makaza died in hospital in January
last year after being found in her bed struggling to breathe.
A month later, her uncle, George Gwaze, was
charged with her murder and sexual violation.
The trial is expected to take about three
weeks.
