The father of a missing Toronto girl will be sentenced on Tuesday for stabbings that happened after she disappeared.
Vakhtang Makhniashvili pleaded guilty in May to three counts of aggravated assault for attacking his neighbour and a married couple who acted as his legal surety.
In the first incident, Makhniashvili stabbed his neighbour Sean Ure during a noise dispute and was later charged with aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, forcible entry and four counts of threatening bodily harm.
A couple Makhniashvili had never met, David Langer and his wife Delores, posted his $50,000 bail.
But Makhniashvili soon learned the Langers were actually private investigators who had taken an interest in his daughter’s disappearance.
He attacked the couple outside their Greenwood Avenue home in November of last year and then turned himself in to police.
Miriam Makhniashvili disappeared in September 2009 on her way to high school and hasn’t been found.
