Episode Details

Four young men in Napier stand trial for the brutal murder of 58-year-old Boy Taylor, a homeless man with mental health struggles and addiction issues. The defendants, Tuarima Issac Alexander, Rua Waka Hune, Takarangi Kumar, and Trizarn Henare, deny murder but admit to manslaughter after a four-on-one attack caught on security video. The trial, which included evidence of the defendants previous violent behavior, concluded with closing arguments, and the jury will now decide if the defendants are guilty of murder or manslaughter. The verdict could have far-reaching implications for the Napier community, as the defendants also face charges for seriously injuring another man on the same night.
