Allegations of Sexual
Abuse in NZ |
|
Police inspecting the burned car
last week.. Police say a woman's claims that
she was abducted and her car set alight in the Domain in Auckland were untrue.
Following inquiries into the case,
which was alleged to have happened on the night of July 4, officers
determined there was no such abduction or assault. The Fire Service were called to
the Domain at midnight that day, where they extinguished a fire in a car - a
1998 black BMW - in Lover's Lane. The woman at the centre of the
complaint called police about half an hour later claiming she'd been abducted
in her own vehicle and driven to the Domain where she and her car were doused
in petrol and set alight. The woman, who is in her fifties,
is still in hospital suffering from burns received when her car was set on
fire. Police inquiries are on-going but
the officer in charge of the case, Detective Sergeant Brett Batty, said he
was confident that there was no offender as described to police by the woman.
