Three teenage girls
have been jailed for what a judge described yesterday as a
"sadistic" slashing of a schoolgirl. The 16-year-old was
attacked in Auckland in August last year. The girl, who has name suppression,
was hit and robbed of $10. Each time the girl said she had no more money, she
was sliced with a pair of scissors. At the time of the
attack Teangarua Lucy Akatere was aged 15, Tania Mayze Vini was 14 and
McCushla Priscilla Fuataha was 14. All were found guilty of aggravated
robbery after a trial last month. Fuataha, who wielded the scissors, was
jailed for two years. The others were jailed for 18 months. |
