    Niraj Prasad has been found guilty of murder in the Christchurch High Court

    Niraj Prasad has been found guilty of murder in the Christchurch High Court


    The 39 year old killed Faiz Ali, Prasad's ex-wife's new partner, in a hammer attack, in February last year.

    The jury took just one hour to find Prasad guilty - family and supporters were in tears after the verdict was delivered.

    Prasad will be sentenced in May.
