blazes Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 While his name is neither here nor there, it surely is possible for media outlets to answer the question, 'why'???? Is he younger than 18? or is he the son of a brewery millionaire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberfarang Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 This is a lot more to this case that I can`t mention here. Read the media and forum reports online then draw your own conclusions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy has been arrested and been charged though , Two Maoris havent had it blamed on them . It is also just one isolated case, rather than a series of unexplained deaths on a small island Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
