Ellis supporters ridicule report
NZPA
Christchurch: Supporters of Peter Ellis yesterday poured scorn on a
police review clearing a former detective who propositioned the mother of an
alleged victim.
The review followed revelations last year that a key detective on the Christchurch creche
case, Colin Eade, had relationships with the mothers of two alleged victims.
The review by Detective Superintendent Jim Millar cleared Mr Eade, saying his
judgement was not impaired in any significant way.
"I believe Eade was not psychologically incompetent enough to consider
that he should be removed from that inquiry or would have been liable to make
errors of judgement," Mr Millar wrote.
A spokesman for a group supporting Peter Ellis, said the review was
"hilarious".
