The man who kidnapped Auckland teenager Christie Marceau two months before she died will be sentenced in the High Court at Auckland today.
Akshay Anand Chand, 19, pleaded guilty last month to kidnapping and assaulting Christie two months before he allegedly stabbed her to death at her family's North Shore
home.
The court was told that Chand had held Christie at knifepoint and told her he would stab her if she didn't follow orders on September 6 last year.
He had demanded Christie come to his house or he would "hurt himself''.
The pair sat in the lounge room and talked before Chand began to get agitated and demanded Christie hand over her cell phone.
