Another tourist hit and killed by a truck in Napier

Police update: The fatal crash victim was Murray Anthony Reid. He was reportedly a resident of Mount Manganui.

UK tourist witnessed fatal crash that killed her husband 

“Unfortunately the man’s wife has witnessed the crash, which is horrific when you think about it,” said the local cop, Senior Sergeant Brown.

The victim’s identity is known, but his name won’t be released until police have advised the remainder of the family.

The intersection where the fatal crash occurred “is in the top five for serious and fatal crashes in the country, and was the scene of a near-fatal collision between a logging truck and a car only a few months ago,” according to a report.

The New Zealand Transport Agency is planning to install a roundabout at the intersection, where other people have also been killed, in the next two years, the report quoted the cop as saying.

“It is one of those intersections that for some unexplained reason people keep making mistakes with. The speed has previously been reduced to 80km/h to reduce the risk but perhaps this needs to be explored further in light of the latest crashes.”

Moderator’s note: New Zealand is plagued with poorly constructed roads, hundreds of blind spots, and fatal intersections that for obvious reasons lead to deadly crashes in which hundreds of people are killed each year.

About 3,400 overseas visitors, international students, foreign workers and new immigrants have been killed and at least 18,000 others seriously injured in New Zealand since the year 2000.

 

WHY are so many overseas visitors killed on NZ roads?

How many of these cars end up being driven by overseas visitors?

“Australia sends written-off cars to NZ”

About 60 per cent of second hand cars imported from Australia are written-off, according to The New Zealand Transport Agency, says a report.

“In Australia a statutory write-off means the car has suffered damage so serious it can not be deemed roadworthy, or registered in that country again.”

Monash University commits two students to death

The two young men would have been alive today had Monash cared!

New Zealand is he deadliest tourist destination in the world, especially for international students and young visitors. We’ve been posting news and information on this blog about the inordinate number of foreign visitors who have lost their lives in this country for the past 7 years. Most of those deaths, like the latest tragedy, were avoidable…

Police have named the two young victims who drowned in freezing waters while kayaking on Lake Tekapo in New Zealand as Daniel Thomas Hollnsteiner (aged 21)  from New York, USA and James Robert Murphy (aged 20)  from London, England.

The two young victims were students attending Monash University in Melbourne, Australia and were visiting New Zealand during a semester break, police said.

Since 2011, on average, 3 foreigners have been killed in New Zealand every 4 days.

Tourist Deathtrap: Young visitors killed on Lake Tekapo

At least two overseas tourists were killed while kayaking on Lake Tekapo, in South Canterbury, and nine others were left suffering from  hypothermia.

The bodies of the two victims, young men in their twenties,  were pulled from Lake Tekapo this afternoon, while nine others are said to have survived their kayaking ordeal.

The two were members of a group of young people who hired kayaks for a trip on Lake Tekapo, police said.

All of the survivors suffered hypothermia and several in more serious conditions were hospitalized at Timaru Hospital.

The group ran into difficulty after venturing out on the lake and was swamped after an easterly wind picked up to an estimated 20 knots, police said.

Water temperature on the lake at this time of year is about 6 degree Celsius.

The company that took the kayakers on the lake was Aquanorts, which have declined to comment.

“There was a guided kayaking trip on Lake Tekapo this afternoon that ended in tragedy when two of the party died after the group had been swamped by heavy waters following a northeasterly wind that had got up,” according to a local policeman.

Police have not yet released the identity of the victims.

Three men were killed on the lake in October 2009, according to a report.

Inmate found dead at Mt Eden prison

In August, another inmate was found dead (murdered?) in his prison cell at Auckland’s Mt Eden Prison, but Department of Corrections said the death wasn’t suspicious even before a semblance of an investigation had been launched.

“We are committed to reducing the number of offenders who take their own lives in while in custody,” she Corrections’ northern regional commissioner Jeanette Burns.

“Despite the significant efforts we make, it is incredibly difficult to prevent the actions of someone who is determined to hurt themselves.”

“UK firm Serco has the contract to run Mt Eden prison, but the facility is currently being managed by Corrections after a series of allegations of violence between inmates,” according to a report.

NZ police: ye moral dwarfs

NZ police, judiciary, government… have NO moral compass!

ye cowards murder another distressed man instead of shooting him with rubber bullets or beanbags

Pera Ariki Smiler, 25, was fatally shot by the police assassins in Upper Hutt Tuesday afternoon.

Smiler was murdered by the police shooters after allegedly firing his rifle inside the McDonald’s restaurant in Upper Hutt on Main St. and then brandishing the rifle outside in the street.

FACT: He had neither shot anyone, nor holding a gun to a anyone’s head and threatening to shoot.

FACT:  He could have easily been immobilized temporarily by police using rubber bullets or beanbags.

FACT: The NZ police are out of control. They use unwarranted deadly force inordinately.

He has been described as a “good kid” by those who knew him.

“Basically, he was a good kid and I loved him. I loved him like a son and I always will regardless of what he’s done. I can’t really say much more,” said Sharon Leaf who knew Smiler when he was  a friend of her son at school.

“As far as I was concerned he was a good soul,” she told NZME.

“All I know is that he was an amazing guy and it’s so sad how things have turned out.” said a relative of the victim who didn’t wish to be named.

“Some of the people are saying he certainly didn’t want to hurt anyone, that’s why he told everyone to get away.”

Pera Ariki Smiler, 25, was murdered by NZ police. Photo Supplied by a friend of the victim/ via media.

Dylan Smiler, the victim’s cousin, told Morning Report that he believed Mr Smiler had no intention of hurting anyone, and must have wanted to die.

“There was one incident where one of the witnesses said he looked at him, and Pera goes, you know, ‘you’re all right, carry on’. And that kinda made me think he had no intention to kinda hurt anyone, he was just in a bad place,” he said.

“For him to not shoot anyone when he had the chance to, is quite a big sign that, you know, it wasn’t his intention,” according to a report.

Police again blame one of the victims for fatal crash

Police have now charged the driver of a vehicle in which a female Taiwanese tourist was killed in a crash on Monday morning.

Yi-Chieh Feng, 30, was a passenger in [an almost certainly defective and unroadworthy] rental car that crashed on State Highway 6 in Westland.

The 31-year-old man driving the car, also a Taiwanese national, who was not injured in the crash, has been charged with careless driving causing death, police said.

Ms. Feng was probably the 3,402nd foreigner killed in New Zealand since January 2000.

Police have difficulty explaining why so many “careless drivers” come to New Zealand only to be killed here or lose their loved ones to our death roads.

Injured Indian schoolboy dies in New Zealand

9-year-old Indian schoolboy passes away

Aryan Banerjee, a 9-year-old Indian schoolboy who was critically injured after he was “left hanging by his shirt from a school toilet window” in May, has died.

His father said his son passed away peacefully in his parents’ arms at Hawke’s Bay Hospital earlier today.

“The parents of nine-year-old Aryan Banerjee, who was critically injured following a fall from a Taradale School window in May, wish to advise that tragically Aryan passed away earlier today”, the Hospital said in a statement.

Aryan was found unconscious after he had ALLEGEDLY jumped out a window because the door wouldn’t open (!) and his shirt got caught, leaving him hanging.

Aryan had been in an induced coma after he was nearly strangled on May 25 and had suffered significant brain damage since.

The police have not revealed any details about the tragic incident, but said they were treating it as an accident.

An accident? WTF!

The poor boy’s only “fault”, as cruel as it might sound, probably was he couldn’t choose “white” parents!

Based on their experience, the moderators believe Aryan was victim of foul play like dozens of other Indians who have been killed in New Zealand, just because their “wrong” skin colour.

We do NOT for a moment believe he died accidentally, regardless of what the police might say.

We hope his family has the fortitude to hire reputable private detectives to investigate the circumstances that led to their son’s tragic death!
