High Court Judge Justice Salesi Temo will sentence 29-year-old market vendor Vinend Kumar at 11.30 this hour.
He has been found guilty of one count of attempted rape and murder.
Kumar attempted to rape and then murdered a 50-year-old woman in Malele, Tavua in July 2013.
Two assessors had found Kumar not guilty of both charges while one found him guilty of attempted rape and murder.
Kumar has been remanded in custody and Justice Temo will sentence him at 11.30 this morning.
In his summing up of the case, Justice Temo had told the assessors that they need to consider that while giving evidence the accused had admitted throughout the trial that he had struck the deceased with an iron rod either on her back or head but did not intend to kill her.
