KEY POINTS:
The jury in the trial of George Evans Gwaze was sent away for the day today, while the High Court heard legal argument.
Justice Lester Chisholm said the court had "heard submissions on an issue that has arisen" in the murder and sexual violation trial that has nowbeen going almost three weeks.
Gwaze, a 54-year-old Zimbabwean, denies the charges which relate to the death of his niece, Charlene Makaza, who lived as part of his household in Christchurch in January last year.
