An Auckland jury will
decide the fate of three men accused of pack-raping Rotorua woman Louise
Nicholas nearly 20 years ago. Clinton John Tukotahi Rickards,
44, a senior police officer, and two former policemen, Bradley Keith Shipton,
47, and Robert Francis Schollum, 53, face a total of 20 charges of rape,
indecent assault and unlawful sexual connection. In the High Court at
Rotorua yesterday Justice John Priestley ordered the trial moved to Auckland
but the reasons were suppressed. Pre-trial applications will be heard in
Auckland on October 25. |
