Dewar on leave during inquiry
A former detective
accused of mishandling police pack rape complaints is on leave of absence from
his management role at St John's Ambulance.
The role of former Rotorua CIB chief John Dewar in handling Louise Nicholas'
rape complaints will be examined by a commission of inquiry into allegations.
Dewar is now the Human Resources Manager for
St John's Chief Executive Jaimes Wood says a mutual
decision for Dewar to take a leave of absence will allow him to focus on the
inquiry.
