Louise Nicholas'
mother-in-law says she twice saw marked police cars pulling away from her
daughter-in-law's flat during the period she claims police abused her. The Rotorua woman is continuing
to give evidence in the High Court at Auckland at the trial of Assistant
Police Commissioner Clint Rickards, and his former police colleagues, Brad
Shipton and Bob Schollum, on the historical sex abuse charges. Phyllis Nicholas said
on two occasions around 1985 she arrived to pick up her son's then-girlfriend
and saw police cars leaving the house. Louise Nicholas'
husband Ross told the court that when he was at the house alone one day, he
was surprised when two of the accused, Clint Rickards and Brad Shipton,
arrived on the doorstep. Mr Nicholas broke down
when he described a dress he had bought his wife, which she says she was
wearing the day the three accused raped her in a police house. |
