An illegal immigrant accused of stabbing and seriously wounding his sister in Shelton last year is expected to pursue an insanity defense, according to statements made in court Wednesday.
Shelton police in October charged Toai Nguyen, 38, of Maple Street, Shelton, with first-degree assault for allegedly stabbing his sister, An Nguyen, 27.
