Name suppression for four
men accused of pack rape is likely to continue for the duration of their
two-week trial, which begins in Wellington today. The men are charged
over an incident that is alleged to have happened in Mt Maunganui 16 years
ago. They are facing rape,
sexual violation and abduction charges relating to events at a location near
Tay Street in January 1989. The trial has been
moved from Rotorua to Wellington and strict suppression orders are in place
surrounding the men's identity, their past and previous occupations, and
details of the alleged offences. Some of the testimony
of witnesses in the case has also been suppressed. |
