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.

  1. 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…!!!

    • THANK YOU dear citizen journalist for speaking the truth which our (IN)justice system needs to suppress to subvert NZ society so that THEY can carry on with THEIR (IN)just extortion and oppression. THEY believe THEY have free reign and forget that WE THE PEOPLE are the law.
      Maybe time for a professional development course.

  2. I wonder if he will be given a home detention sentence? It would be fair and reasonable with so many others like that.

    He was a victim, targeted and terrorised. It seems the pig hunters were ritualistic and sadistic. They killed his pet pig.

    On the serface this seems like vigilantism but really just isn’t, a man pushed to despair. He continually gave warning shots, firing into the air.
    Then this, a step too far.

    It is a bit like, ‘ ya want to see where my limits lie’ ? In all honesty the criminal, theifs have only themselves to blame.

  3. Poor buggar, let us know how we can suoprt his case?
    NZ Poolice- again worst than a amabulanace at bottom of the cliff. Why do we offer them any respect?

  4. How did the Police get to know that these two scum had been shot? One of them was dead and the other one was ‘seriously wounded’, so he wouldn’t have been able to drive or run away. He wouldn’t have called 111 and announced that he had been stealing stock at gunpoint, would he? Surely the best option would have been to finish of the wounded one, then tow their car out the back and bury it together with the ferals inside it? Maybe the the farmer’s tractor wasn’t big enough, or his digger wasn’t the right type for the task? It’s a tricky one…..

    • Oh dear. That’s not going to end well.
      No wonder the police didn’t like to interfere, they’re afraid of the gangs.

      More race baiting and now big funeral for the ‘hero’ to display their solidarity.
      Something’s going to happen.

    • And his mother described him as a ratbag with a free spirit – more like she couldn’t be bothered disciplining him and raising him properly. He got what he deserved and it’s about time feral crims get the picture that the rest of us have had ENOUGH.

      Poor Stu had had a gutsful, the police did nothing and now they are charging the actual victim here? Those lazy feral poachers got what they deserved. How disgusting to kill and gut a pet pig like they did, and with school children down the road.

      So tired of the ‘justice’ system in this country. Drunk woke judges and all…..😡

      LET STU OUT NOW! I hope his pigs are being cared for.

  5. “The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. The moment the Men who wanted to be left alone are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these Men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people’s door, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy… but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the Men who just wanted to be left alone” – Author Unknown

    • This is so absolutely right. Most of us just want to be left alone but I tell you after the govt meddling and police betrayal and the way crims have been allowed to get away with everything over the last few years there are a lot of us out there like matches ready to strike …….and strike we will____
