Stuart Campbell Edmondson has pleaded not guilty to charges of murder and attempted murder following a fatal shooting on the Coromandel Peninsula’s 309 Road last Friday afternoon.
Kevin Mabbott, 41, died from a gunshot wound, while another man was seriously injured in the incident near Coromandel town.
Edmondson, who did not seek name suppression, appeared briefly in the High Court at Hamilton, where his lawyer, Max Simpkins, confirmed plans to apply for electronically-monitored bail soon.
Edmondson was remanded in custody until a February case review, with other suppression orders still in place restricting reporting of further identifying details.
So are we not going to mention that the NZ Police had been ignoring this Mr Edmonson’s pleas for help and action for 6 years as these , and other POACHERS plundered the farmer , Mr Edmonson’s free range pig stocks at their leisure. No MSM mentions that the deceased were armed and hunting pigs on Mr Edmonson’s land without permission.
The deceased are being painted as saintly victims….. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The poachers – are painted as the victim
The Farmer is painted as the criminal
The NZ Police escape proper scrutiny yet again…. and at the very least in this instance – are as usual the incompetents…!!!
fake news MSM painting the thief as a loveable ratbag lol
