The family of a young Brisbane girl who died after prolonged physical and sexual abuse say they just want closure after her father's sentencing was unexpectedly adjourned.
Kyhesha-Lee Joughin was only three years old when she suffered a painful death caused by an infected internal injury in March 2013.
Matthew Lee Williamson has pleaded guilty in the Brisbane Supreme Court to her manslaughter but denied ever harming the child.
Williamson blames the obvious and fatal abuse on his former housemate Christopher Kent, who has also pleaded guilty to Kyhesha's manslaughter.
After hearing two days of evidence, Justice Roslyn Atkinson was anticipated to hand down her findings on Thursday as to what role Williamson played in Kyhesha's death and his appropriate punishment.
But Williamson's case was adjourned until March 16 after his defence barrister Michael Copley requested a report into whether a "psychological abnormality" contributed to his conduct towards Kyhesha.
Williamson testified he didn't take his daughter to a doctor despite her vomiting green for days, having obvious bruising on her face, and leaving blood in her nappies.
He also conceded he also ignored proof his daughter was being sexually abused when she showed she was oozing blood from her genitals and told him she "didn't want any fingers up her bum anymore".
"I didn't think anything of it at the time," he said.
Outside court, Kyhesha's grandfather Doug Joughin said the delay was a "curveball".
"We just want closure so we can just carry on," he said.
