Police today confirmed they have found Tom Phillips’ three missing children.

Specialist officers located the children around 4.30pm, about two kilometres from where Phillips was shot and killed earlier in the day during a confrontation with police near Waitomo. The area has now been locked down and will undergo a forensic examination in the coming days.

The development came after a dramatic sequence of events that began around 2.30am, when Phillips was spotted on a quad bike during a burglary at a Piopio farm store. Police intercepted him at a roadblock, where he allegedly opened fire with a high-powered rifle, seriously injuring a constable with a shot to the head. Another police unit returned fire, killing Phillips. One of his children was found unhurt at the scene and was later reported to have helped officers locate the siblings. Police say they have seized multiple firearms and stolen goods, and confirmed the children are now in the care of authorities, with their mother informed of their recovery.

  1. according to police insiders he police were told to shoot to kill – to cover up the false story that Tom (who has legal care of the children) was somehow kidnapping his own children was a problem!
    Started by coster wef puppet and continued by mcskimmings wef puppet child abuse computer pics on his departmental computer.
    Skum bags police who can no longer be trusted to uphold the law.
    A lot like bush who covered up the christchurch bullshit fake shootings.

  2. Everything in the public domain from the beginning has been the police and mainstream media narrative. We’ve never heard anything from the fathers point of view. And we all know thw mainstream media especially lie about everything

      • “Without interference” LMAO.

        Those kids are going to be poked and prodded and psychoanalysed and drugged into oblivion for years, until they’re finally force-marched out in front of the News cameras someday like zombies to affirm that their mother is indeed perfect, the system didn’t fail their family and that their father was merely Satan incarnate (because all men are). Their ordeal is far from over.

        And the media machine is already in full swing BTW; twit radio DJ’s on every station this morning are lamenting and pearl clutching and outright whinging that people aren’t just blindly swallowing the official “trust us bro” narrative, instead of asking pertinent questions like, “what happened to this man that made him feel he had no other choice, who did the kids side with in all the custody battles, why is so much information being suppressed?”

        Nah friend, if you want the full objective truth you’re in the wrong country. It will never be out in the open. Only the edited and curated tidbits of information they will allow.

  3. Yip, the state will literally murder you in front of your children and just have their police and media puppets run interference BS afterwards.

    What else can you expect from a country that knowingly ripped a crying baby from his mother’s arms on camera so they could pump him full of MRNA just to flex their muscles on us peasants.

    They’ve been after Phillips so hard and for so long because they want it to be a warning to the rest of us. “Comply or this’ll be you someday.”
