Ellis committee may meet in Christchurch
Committee which
will decide on whether there should be an Inquiry into Ellis case may meet in
Christchurch
A Parliamentary Committee that will hear a petition in support of child
abuser Peter Ellis could hold hearings in Christchurch.
The petition calls for a Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Christchurch
Civic Creche case and will be looked at by the Justice Committee later this
month.
The Committee will have to decide whether to only hear the initial
petitioners or conduct an expanded hearing.
It is highly possible however the Committee will look favourably on a wider
inquiry given recent interest in the case.
