Last-minute witnesses to testify in sexual assault case

Two last-minute witnesses are to give evidence in the trial of a high-ranking police officer and two of his former workmates.

Assistant Police Commissioner Clint Rickards, and former policemen Brad Shipton and Bob Schollum, are accused of sexually assaulting a teenager in Rotorua in the 1980s.

One of the two witnesses is expected to be the Perth-based cousin of Shipton's wife, Sharon.

Mrs Shipton claimed she and her husband stayed with her cousin during a month-long holiday in Wanganui, at the time when the alleged events took place.
