Lawyer says teen may have acted in 'excessive self-defence' before fatal stabbing

In short:

The lawyer for a teenager accused of murdering her father has told a court his client's victim had told her to stab him on multiple occasions before the fatal stabbing.

The now-19-year-old stood trial this month after pleading not guilty to the stabbing murder of her father on Boxing Day four years ago.

What's next?

A verdict will be handed down at a later date.
