Ellis inquiry call

 

The mother of Peter Ellis was to arrive in Wellington today to ask for a royal commission of inquiry into her son's conviction on sex offences. Lesley Ellis said last night that the pending decision on an appeal heard in July was irrelevant, because the controversy surrounding the investigation into her son's case left too many unanswered questions. Ellis is in jail after being convicted of offences against children in Christchurch.
