A jury is still deliberating 22 charges against alleged serial rapist, John Muchirahondo

The 38-year-old's accused of violating or raping 15 women between 2009 and 2021, in Christchurch and Auckland.

He met some at bars or parties, knew others socially or as friends, and several were ex-partners.

Deliberations have so far spanned nearly 10 days, since the jury retired to consider seven weeks of evidence.
