• It was a scene that horrified residents and shocked a city. A woman was exercising in leafy Remuera yesterday morning when she was attacked by a man with a weapon and later died on a stranger's front lawn. She may have been there an hour before she was found.
• The alleged murderer handed himself into the police hours later, with a weapon. Charged with murder, he will appear in the Auckland District Court today.
• At a press conference last night, Detective Inspector Kevin Hooper described the woman's death as a tragedy. "We don't have any evidence to indicate that the accused was known to the victim," he said.
She had no idea who he was, but soon after encountering the man during a morning walk in one of the country's most lavish suburbs she was dead.
The stranger allegedly used a weapon to fatally attack her, and she tried to get help at a nearby house.
She collapsed on the front lawn of a house, just metres from the front door.
Some time later - possibly more than an hour - the occupants saw her from their window and called for help.
By then it was too late.
Cordons went up, police converged and Shore Rd in Remuera became a crime scene.
I drove pass Shore road yesterday at 15:00. I have never seen that many police in Remuera for the 23 years I have been here. 作者: pear 时间: 2016-1-8 09:46:06
