The case has been delayed while the defendant has received extensive psychiatric treatment. Today, Shiuli plead guilty to Second Degree Murder, Attempted Murder and Assault With a Deadly Weapon With Intent to Kill and Inflicting Serious Injury.On November 11, 2007 Defendant Selina Shiuli, age 32, called 911 and stated that she wanted to kill herself and her two daughters. When officers arrived and kicked in the door, they found Shiuli had stabbed herself and her two daughters. Both daughters died from their injuries. In the ambulance, the defendant told medics that she had stabbed herself and her two girls because her husband loved her too much.
The defendant was evaluated by Dr. Nicole Wolfe who is a Forensic Psychiatrist employed by the State of North Carolina. It is Dr. Wolfe’s opinion that the defendant was insane at the time of the offense. The defendant’s mental illness would likely render a verdict involving premeditation impossible. Therefore, the defendant was allowed to plead guilty to Second Degree Murder, Attempted Murder, and Assault With a Deadly Weapon With Intent to Kill and Inflicting Serious Injury. After hearing arguments from the prosecution and the defense regarding sentencing, The Honorable Yvonne Mims Evans, Superior Court Judge, sentenced the defendant to 225-288 months in prison.
