A man is found guilty of murdering a former love rival after stabbing him to death during a fight in a Northbridge boarding house.

Supreme Court Justice Michael Corboy told the jury the"focus of your deliberations must be on those five injuries".

He said the prosecution's case was that Carrington's intention could be determined from the location of the injuries and the way they were inflicted. The attack was captured on the building's CCTV cameras, which also observed Carrington fleeing the scene shortly after.The Supreme Court was previously told the two men knew each other, but their relationship was strained for a number of reasons, including that Carrington had a brief sexual relationship with Mr Egan's partner — the mother of his four children — and that Mr Egan owed Carrington money for drugs.

Prosecutors said Carrington stabbed Mr Egan with the intention of killing him or causing him a life-threatening injury, but he maintained he acted in self-defence.

Aboriginal man left 'stunned' after being sent 'racist' letter in AdelaideAn Aboriginal man has shared a photo of a racist and threatening letter found in his letterbox in Adelaide. The left love a good old fake hate crime. Just like racist messages left on restaurant receipts, all fake. One of the English teachers at the local schools will recognise the girl's handwriting, it isn't as if the list of suspects is very large. The police in this case are morons, but no more so than the reporter who wrote the article. Such an obvious solution! The letter writer needs to tackle their own problems and not take them out on their neighbours.
