The Chatham Hill murder case has concluded apart from sentencing.
Danai Muhammadi was accused of the murder of Melissa, their baby son Noah and Melissa's father Mark Crook, at their Chatham Hill home last year.
The judge adjourned sentencing to the first week of July but said the law would permit only one sentence - life imprisonment. This also applied to Muhammadi's accomplice, Farhad Mahmud. His new girlfriend, Emma Smith, was found guilty of manslaughter but cleared of two charges of attempted of murder.
Devastated surviving family members, Melissa's mother Amanda and brother Bohdan, said that the verdict wasn't an exchange or a celebration; they all had a life sentence.
