Its a case of causing so much trauma to a 3 year old child's head that her brain hemorrhaged and she died slowly and in great pain. Lack of intent? I piss on it. And the scum who didn't try her as a murderer.

The killer then refused to give any information to the medical staff that tried to save her life, and then blamed the pre-school aged cousin when it went to court.

Yeah yeah, I know, Weak victims and all their attention seeking, all that dieing and stuff just to make the poor killer look bad.

Oh man one of the best piece of news that's come to NZ for a while now. So happy at the thought of the guy possibly getting executed. :D

1111275 2010-06-18 08:29:00 So, we have learned a few things.



Choose a young victim
Be black. Ok, Most of them have that sorted
Bash them to death, using a weapon demonstrates intent
Do not flee to China, stay in NZ,chances are you will be sent home for a few months.

I don't know anything about the second case, the first one though happened right outside the place where my son works, just down the road from here. I happened to go past while the area was cordoned off and the Police were still working at the scene, it was sobering to say the least. The life sentence seems fair enough to me, it was clearly pre-meditated and the guy should be locked away for a long time.

1111277 2010-06-18 09:43:00 Quite incredible a judge would sentence somebody to 5.9 yrs jail for murder when the normal sentence here in NZ up to the 1960s would have been death by hanging. prefect (6291)

It was Manslaughter according to Stuff and no one has ever been hanged for that in New Zealand.

Fortunately New Zealand has a very low murder rate compared to most developed countries, and with only about eight hangings in about eighty years, we can be fairly confident that our low murder rate isn't because of fear of execution.

There have been no executions since 1961 when the death penalty was abolished so there has been no fear of execution since then. Walter Bolton was the last one in 1957. I wouldn't say we had a very low murder rate but back in the fifties there were only about two or three a year. We have 12 per million.

Yep. I'd sure trust that source :( :(
