Toko (Ashley) Shane Winter, 30, and Kerry Te Amo, 26, were found guilty of murder after a three-week trial at the High Court in Auckland last year.

The pair kidnapped, tortured and hanged 17-year-old Dimetrius Pairama, whose body was found in a drum at a derelict house in Māngere in July 2018.

A teenager alleged to have been a third party in the crime was found unfit to stand trial and will be managed by the state, subject to a pending High Court decision. Read full article here.

Pairama was beaten, burned and hanged in an abandoned Housing New Zealand home. Her body was then wrapped in sheets and left in a steel drum at the back of the property. Read full article here.
