Summary
A woman, whose identity is suppressed, allegedly sent messages before the fatal shooting of Rau Tongia in Karori, Wellington, in 2020, stating “kill him” and “this n***** needs to go permanently.” The Crown argues that these messages implicate her as a party to the murder, while the woman denies the charge, claiming she cannot recall sending the messages or that they were taken seriously. Her lawyer contends that the messages are irrelevant to the case against her.
