MP critical of police handling of murder house search

.

Police handling of the search of the house in Christchurch where the bodies of two murdered women were found has been slammed by Maori Party MP Rahui Katene.

The MP for Tai Tonga is critical of the way police treated the family living next door to the “murder house” in the Christchurch suburb of Wainoni. .

“I just don’t think it’s good enough that the family living in the other half of the semi-detached house in Christchurch had to learn through the media that there was a murder investigation going on next door. Their children – and the parents too – don’t want to go back there again.

“This family has been severely traumatised by what has happened right next door to them.”

Ms Katene said she would take the matter up with senior police in Wellington. And I’m appalled that the police have suggested that they can move back in again.

“As a local ratepayer I support the move and encourage the council to pull it down and turn the site into something useful for the community.

But she applauded efforts by Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker to get council to consider buying the house.”

The bodies of 28-year-old Tisha Lowry and the 35-year-old wife of the man charged with her murder were recovered from beneath the house this week. I hope he doesn’t take notice of the people complaining about that move.

Neither can be named due to suppression orders.

The 33-year-old man who lived at the house has been charged with his wife’s murder and is expected to face a second murder charge when he appears in Christchurch District Court on Friday.

IRAN: French embassy worker released, but will face spy charges

.
A French embassy employee detained in Tehran on espionage charges has been released from prison but she will still face prosecution, a statement from the office of French President Nicolas Sarkozy said on Tuesday.

Sarkozy office greeted the release of French-Iranian national Nazak Afshar with great joy and relief.

&raquo Focus: Is Iran using Reiss as a pawn?

Afshar, employed at the French embassy cultural section, will face prosecution at a mass trial in connection with widespread public protests that erupted in the weeks following the disputed June 12 re-election of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

France has dismissed the charges as baseless and has called for both women release .

A second French national, 24-year-old teaching assistant Clotilde Reiss, remains behind bars, accused of spying and involvement in a Western plot to destabilise the Iranian regime. France criticised Iran for failing to inform its embassy in advance that either woman would be appearing in court, which French authorities say flouted international regulations and the rules of consular protection.

The two women appeared in court on Saturday along with several other detainees.

&raquo Mousavi, improbable leader of the green wave
A diplomatic source told on Saturday that it was surprising to know Reiss was in the court, saying he had learned it from television only that morning.

Reiss was initially accused of spying for taking a photograph of a demonstration in Isfahan and emailing it to a friend in Tehran. We were not informed previously, he said.

Iran ambassador to France, Seyed Mehdi Miraboutalebi, told French radio station RFI on Tuesday that the Iranian authorities had offered to let Reiss stay in the French embassy pending her trial if the French government promised she would remain there, but that Paris had declined to respond to the offer. According to Iran state-run IRNA news agency, Reiss admitted in court that she had filed a report on protests in the city of Isfahan at the cultural department of the French embassy in Tehran. We refute them categorically, the ministry said in a statement.

The French foreign ministry denied the allegation, saying that Miraboutalebi comments suggesting the French authorities were not doing everything they could for Reiss release were incorrect.

Presumption of innocence

Miraboutalebi said that France had been told not to publicise Reiss case in the media, and warned against jumping to conclusions before her trial.

Presumption of innocence

Miraboutalebi said that France had been told not to publicise Reiss case in the media, and warned against jumping to conclusions before her trial.

As in France, the Iranian judiciary is totally independent, he added. In other words, they took the place of the Iranian judges.

The EU presidency said the prosecution of the three was an act against the whole European Union .

The EU presidency had joined Britain and France in calling upon the Iranian authorities to release Afshar, Reiss and Hossein Rassam, an Iranian political analyst employed by the British embassy who has been detained since late June. .

Tehran has responded strongly to Western criticism of the mass trial of the detained protesters, vowing to resist what it called foreign intervention in its domestic affairs

IRAN: Paris calls for ‘immediate release’ of French lecturer on trial

AFP - France has demanded the immediate release of French lecturer Clotilde Reiss and French embassy employee Nazak Afshar, who were standing trial in Tehran Saturday with others detained during protests over Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s re-election.

Clotilde Reiss, who turned 24 in Tehran’s notorious Evin prison on July 31, was arrested on July 1 as she tried to fly home.

Flanked by a policewoman on Saturday, she wore blue jeans, a dark coat and a colourful headscarf as she sat in the front row of defendants. Fellow defendant Nazak Afshar, from the French embassy’s cultural section, was detained on Thursday.

She is accused of collecting information and provoking rioters, the official IRNA news agency reported.

IRNA said Reiss had reported on post-election protests in the central city of Isfahan to the French embassy.

Iran’s state television said both played an active role in the unrest by giving information to foreign embassies.

I have written a one-page report and submitted it to…

Arash Naimian, son of detained embassy worker Nazak Afshar, speaks to them. the cultural department of the French embassy, it quoted her as telling the judge. I did this out of curiosity and to be aware of the political situation.

I was planning to leave Iran, but I took part in rallies of June 15 and 17 in Tehran and took photographs and film. I wanted to know of what was happening. I wanted to know of what was happening.

In the event that confrontations occurred in front of the cultural department of the embassy, we were told to offer refuge to protesters if they asked.

Afshar told the court that she and other staffers had been told to shelter protesters if required, IRNA said. They were later freed, while he was released on bail.

Also in the dock was British embassy local staffer Hossein Rassam who was detained during the post-vote violence in Tehran along with eight embassy colleagues.

Based on the order of British embassy, the local staff were asked to be present in the riots along with Tom Burn and Paul Blemey (eds: spellings as transliterated from Persian), Rassam said of two British diplomats expelled by Iran in June.

IRNA said he has been accused of spying.

The judge said the allegation merited a charge of espionage.

You along with Arash Momenian were given the duty of meeting representatives of political groups, ethnic and religious minorities, and student groups and to relay the news of Iran’s riots to London, IRNA quoted the prosecutor as telling the court.

Rassam was quoted as telling the court: The victory of Mr.

Based on the charges read out by the Tehran prosecution, you are accused of spying for foreigners, the judge was quoted as saying by IRNA, which identified him by only the single name Salavati.

He told the court that British diplomats, including the two expelled later, had attended protests in Tehran and that the ambassador along with the charge d’affaires took part in witnessing a rally of Mousavi supporters.

In London, a Foreign Office spokeswoman slammed Rassam’s trial.

We deplore these trials and the so-called confessions of prisoners who have been denied their basic human rights, she said.

Our ambassador in Tehran has demanded early clarification of the position from the Iranian authorities. We will then decide on how to respond to this latest outrage.

In France, Reiss’s father Remi was taken unawares by her appearance in court. . I was surprised to see her appear at this trial, he said, adding that he believes she is innocent.

More than 10 other defendants detained during the protests that followed Ahmadinejad’s hotly disputed June 12 re-election were in court with Reiss and the two embassy staffers.

It was the second hearing in the trial of a number of key reformist politicians and journalists, the ISNA news agency said.

Some 100 defendants were charged with various offences, including rioting, at the first hearing on August 1. Reiss and the two embassy staffers were not present in court then.

At that hearing, several accused withdrew earlier allegations of fraud in the presidential election, saying that Ahmadinejad’s victory was clean.

Another 10 protesters were put in the dock in a separate trial on Sunday.

Both Ahmadinejad’s main challenger Mir Hossein Mousavi and reformist former president Mohammad Khatami have denounced the trials.

Seven times Formula One world champion Michael Schumacher will replace injured driver Felipe Massa at Ferrari if he passes a fitness test, the team said early today (NZ time).

The German, now 40 years old, retired from Formula One at the end of 2006. All being well, he will make his comeback in Valencia, Spain, next month.

“Michael Schumacher has shown his willingness and in the next few days he will undergo a specific programme of preparation at the end of which it will be possible to confirm his participation in the championship starting with the European Grand Prix on Aug.

“Ferrari intends to entrust Michael Schumacher with Felipe Massa’s car for as long as the Brazilian driver is not able to race,” the Italian team said in a statement.”

That race is one of the few Schumacher is unfamiliar with since the Spanish street circuit was added to the calendar only last season. 23.

Schumacher’s comeback for the reigning champions will be a huge boost for Formula One organisers as well as local fans, who could be without home hero Fernando Alonso after his Renault team were suspended for one race.

Both Hamilton, 24, and 22-year-old German race winner Vettel – nicknamed ‘Baby Schumi’ by his compatriots – entered the sport after Schumacher had left the scene.

His comeback will be the first time McLaren’s current world champion Lewis Hamilton, as well as Red Bull’s title contender Sebastian Vettel, have raced against the man who dominated a decade.

“I talked on the telephone with (team principal) Stefano Domenicali and (Ferrari president) Luca de Montezemolo this afternoon and we decided jointly that I’ll start preparing to jump in for Felipe,” he said on his website, www.

Ferrari contacted the German, who has taken part in occasional motorcycle races since he retired, after Brazilian Massa fractured his skull in an accident at last weekend’s Hungarian Grand Prix.de. .

“Even though I completely wrapped up the subject of Formula One quite a while ago, due to my attachment to the team I cannot ignore this unfortunate situation.

He won his first world title aged 25 with Benetton in 1994, by a single point from Britain’s Damon Hill, and retained the title the following season before moving to Ferrari in 1996.”

Schumacher is Formula One’s most successful driver, with 91 wins and more titles and records than anyone else has ever achieved.

He won five straight titles from 2000, and his final tally of race wins far eclipsed the previous mark of 51 set by Frenchman Alain Prost

TSB cuts home loan rate

.

TSB Bank is cutting its two-year fixed home loan rate to 5.99 percent to stimulate demand for home loans.

Managing director Kevin Rimmington said the bank was unaffected by the comings and goings on worldwide financial markets, and was determined to pass the benefits of this on to New Zealanders.

The Taranaki-based trust-owned bank, which returns its profits to the community, said it funds its mortgage lending entirely from deposits, which have been increasing. Dr Bollard said he was disappointed that banks had not passed on the April reduction in the official cash rate to short-term lending rates.

The reduction comes a day after the latest round of bank bashing by Reserve Bank Governor Alan Bollard.

Mr Rimmington said the two-year fixed rate was effectively the bank’s benchmark mortgage lending product.

“They have an opportunity to help New Zealand’s recovery by doing so,” Dr Bollard said.

“Right now, we’re experiencing record levels of funds growth.

It was being cut because “we are getting a lot of funds into the bank” and “we have to get it back out again”.25 percent and the one-year rate is 4.”

TSB’s deposit rate for two years is 5.

Mr Rimmington said that up until about a month ago the bank’s margin on lending was the lowest it had ever experienced.6 percent.

The official cash rate has been cut from 8.

Australian-owned banks operating in New Zealand have argued that their funding costs have risen, particularly in global markets, so they can’t pass on all of the cuts in the official cash rate.5 percent.25 percent to the current 2.5 basis points to 3.

4600 kids in CYF care

Posted on 25th April 2009 by admin in news, nz - Tags: , , , , , , , , , ,

.

Thousands of Kiwi kids continue to be taken from their families each year and put into Child, Youth and Family (CYF) care.

Figures released to under the Official Information Act show as of December 2008, 4643 children and teens were in the care of the government agency.

Of the youngsters taken by CYF, 66 were at-risk babies less then one month old, and 15 were removed from their parents on the day they were born.

Of those, 584 were aged under two, 713 from two to four, 1276 five to nine, 1134 aged 10-13, 903 were from 14-16 and 33 aged 17-19.

Ministry of Social Development which includes CYF chief executive Peter Hughes said the organisation didn’t make the decision to take children from their parents lightly.

The number of custody orders involving newborns has more than doubled in the past five years.

CYF took into account the “strengths of the parents and family” and what support was available to them in the community, he said.

“Safety is the paramount consideration, and the decision to remove a child is not made in isolation,” Hughes said.

Hughes said “some” Kiwi kids were in the agency’s care by agreement with their parents or guardians, while others were compelled to be there by court orders.

But often “there are circumstances when placing supports around the family is not sufficient to ensure the child’s safety and alternative action is required”.

Hughes said about 40 percent of those in the agency’s care had been placed with extended family or whanau members.

A number of those aged 14-17 were held in CYF custody while they were being dealt with by the Youth Court.

He said CYF did what it could to maintain family relationships but conceded “despite our best efforts not everyone will be happy with the decisions we make”.

“The vast majority of children and young people in Child, Youth and Family care are living in home environments and are free to come and go like other children cared for by family members,” Hughes said. Up to June 30, 2008, 4831 children were in CYF care 472 less than the previous year and 558 less than in the 2005/2006 financial year.

The total number of children in CYF care has decreased over the past few years.

Nor could they say how many times they’d apologised to parents for the behaviour of their staff or how many complaints they had received.

CYF said they couldn’t tell how many children and youths it had returned to parents because their removal had been unjustified.

But he said CYF was aware there is “public interest” in that information and had made “improvements” that will allow the department to “supply this information in the future”.

Hughes said that information was “held on individual files” and would take a considerable amount of time to collate.

Recent complaints against CYF include one highlighted by in February involving 12-year-old Krystal Repia who was found dead in the service’s care in 2008.

CYF had launched a new complaints process which “establishes a consistent and robust nationwide process for managing complaints”, he said.

During the 2008 financial year and for the first two quarters of the 2009 financial year, one person had escaped from a CYF centre and six while in transit to one.

CYF was also unable to say how many children or youths escaped from its care, although they could say how many escaped from the seven CYF centres.

Meanwhile, figures released by the Department of Corrections show that during the last five years 49 babies have been cared for by their locked-up mothers.

Meanwhile, figures released by the Department of Corrections show that during the last five years 49 babies have been cared for by their locked-up mothers.

At present, only two babies are being cared for behind bars one at Christchurch Women’s Prison aged six months and another at Auckland Region Women’s Correctional Facility aged eight months.

In September last year The Corrections (Mothers with Babies) Amendment Act was passed to allow children of jailed mothers to be cared for until they are two years old. .

Before that only minimum security mothers could raise their children while imprisoned and only until they were six months old.

The new Act has not yet come into force because Corrections are awaiting funding for “additional facilities to be developed in order to accommodate toddlers”.

Posted on 24th April 2009 by Sydney News in news, nz - Tags: , , , , , , , , ,

.

The Crown has ruled out taking any action over changes made to character references for disgraced broadcaster Tony Veitch before they were submitted to the judge in his recent assault case.

Olympic chef de mission Dave Currie and squash champion Dame Susan Devoy provided testimonials to Veitch, believing they would be used in an application to get his passport back.
Veitch was fined $10,000, ordered to do 300 hours community work, and placed on supervision for nine months.
They expressed surprise that they were altered and used as character reference when Veitch pleaded guilty in Auckland District Court to assaulting Kristin Dunne-Powell with reckless disregard for her safety.
A spokeswoman for Solicitor-General David Collins QC confirmed yesterday that no contempt of court complaint had been laid and the matter would not be investigated. .
Police earlier ruled out any investigation without a formal complaint.
“Nothing has been referred to us, we won’t be doing anything,” she told The New Zealand Herald.
