Result in the Mohini Murder Case

Short description: Result in the Mohini Murder Case

Full description:
Chinese reach a verdict – August 17, 2011

The Chinese man accused of murdering Auckland taxi driver Hiren Mohini in January 2010, has today been found guilty by a panel of judges who presided over his day-long trial in Shanghai on August 2.

The guilty verdict was handed down to XIAO Zhen, 24, at 3pm (Shanghai time) who was simultaneously sentenced to 15 years in a Shanghai prison.

Officer in charge of the Auckland City Police investigation into Mr Mohini's murder, Detective Senior Sergeant Hywel Jones, has been in Shanghai for the trial and to hear today's verdict which, he says, is no surprise.

"The evidence against Xiao that was collected, collated and presented to the Court was compelling. The prosecution process has been intriguing and is a testament to international co-operation. I have advised Hiren's family of today's outcome."

1224006 2011-08-17 10:05:00 Sorry Bob .... why the hell would we want him back ???? He'll probably be ostracised from his home town, family, etc ... wont be able to get a job and will probably end up swinging from a bamboo scaffold somewhere.

NZ taxpayers don't need any more burden ... unless you personally want to pay for his accommodations and daily living expenses.

Rant over ... nothing personal :)

15 years in a Chinese prison will probably be worse than any amount of time in a New Zealand prison.

He would have had less time in NZ too, and he would be out on parole long before his time was up...

We won't see him back in NZ.

I doubt if he would get a Visa to return to New Zealand with a criminal conviction like he has now. We do not want to see him back here.
