An Auckland jury will
decide the fate of three men accused of pack-raping Rotorua woman Louise
Nicholas nearly 20 years ago. Assistant Police Commissioner Clinton John
Tukotahi Rickards, 44, and ex-police officers 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 in
Rotorua yesterday, Justice John Priestley ordered the trial moved from
Rotorua to Auckland. The reasons for the move were suppressed and no firm
date was set for the trial. |
