One of the accused men
has broken down in tears while giving evidence for a second day in the High
Court trial of four men charged with pack rape. The men deny the
alleged rape and abduction of a woman in Mt Maunganui in 1989. The 47-year-old accused
has this morning been under cross examination from Crown prosecutor Mark
Zarifeh. Mr Zarifeh had been
challenging him on an incident of oral sex in the deserted building where the
alleged incident took place. The accused replied he
can go to his last living breath knowing he did not do anything wrong. Later he went on to say
this whole thing has devastated his life and everyone in it. At this point he
started crying, prompting Justice Ron Young to call a short adjournment |
