The blog’s statistical model confirms the number of road deaths for 2009 so far (both the reported and unreported numbers killed). According to the model, the average monthly number of road deaths for 2009 are about 48 killed (8 people killed every 5 days, or 584 killed throughout 2009) under the current conditions. [The Moderator believes the average could be revised up, soon.]

A badly decomposed body, possibly of a tourist, was found near Wellington

Meanwhile, a badly decomposed body was discovered in a vehicle off State Highway 2 north of Wellington.

The body had apparently been left there for a few weeks, Defective Sergeant Hardwood of Lower Hutt police said.

This is how the story has been widely reported:

Less than a week after flying out of New Zealand, the bodies of Jude Richmond and her daughter Millie Whitehead-Richmond, 9, who suffered from cerebral palsy, were discovered in a lake next to their home in Cotswolds village of South Cerney, England.

Nick Richmond Jude’s husband “was trapped in New Zealand getting his passport renewed.”  He was forced to stay behind while his wife and her daughter returned  Gloucestershire.

Nick, 45, said in a statement: “They were everything to me. It feels like my insides have been ripped out.”

The couple, Nick Richmond later confirmed,  “were having relationship problems but had expected them to be resolved.” Media reported

Jude Richmond was a celebrity florist, supplying rock stars and royalty. She sold her shop just before Christmas prior to traveling to New Zealand, where the family were planning to stay permanently.

NOTE: In view of the fact that  a 9-year-old kid with cerebral palsy was the multiple victim of the events, Moderator has removed some of the original content of this post and will not add any more information.

However, it’s hoped that the British police will not rule out the possibility that Millie Whitehead-Richmond and her mother, Jude, were victims of a contract killing.
