Jury considering Abdallah verdict

A jury is set to begin deliberations in the murder trial of a Sydney woman accused of fatally stabbing her flatmate.

Katherine Abdallah, 33, has pleaded not guilty to murdering Suzie Sarkis on the grounds of self defence.

Sarkis died after being stabbed in the chest during a fight with Abdallah at their Brighton-Le-Sands townhouse on February 9, 2013.

During the Supreme Court trial, the crown said Ms Sarkis could be seen on CCTV footage from inside the apartment smashing a large glass vase at the beginning of the argument.

On Wednesday the jury retired to decide Ms Aballah's fate.
