Two Waikato brothers
who have been struggling to have their brother's case acknowledged believe
that 23 years of persistence is about to pay off. Bruce and Murray Bain
have been seeking justice for the fatal shooting of their brother Grant at
army cadet school in Waiouru since the day of the 17-year-old's funeral in
1981, when they found out the corporal who shot him was only charged with
carelessly misusing a firearm. Now revelations of
abuse by another cadet have pushed their case back into the public forum. Bruce claims the
circumstances of his brother's death were toned down to make it look like a
careless accident, because the Army did not want the public to know the full
extent of what was going on at Waiouru. He wants the army to
admit it handled the situation the wrong way. |
