Another man drowns in “ankle-deep water”
A 42-year-old man who drowned while swimming in the Waikato River near Hammond Park was reportedly found lying face down in ankle-deep water.
Police were called to the river off Malcolm St in the Riverlea area of Hamilton on Saturday about 4.50pm, according to reports.
“There were people who were watching him… He appeared not to be distressed. Then he reached reasonably close, the shallower part of the river or was approaching the shallower part of the river, so people kind of took their eyes off him,” said Senior Sergeant Pete van de Wetering of the Waikato District Command Centre.
“Within a couple of minutes… he had sort of submerged. “http://www.stuff.co.nz/waikato-times/news/75749844/man-drowns-in-waikato-river

“He came into grief in a river,” said Senior Segreant Rupert Friend of Waikato Police.

NEWS BLACKOUT ALERT: CODE RED
It’s no longer about reporting road murders, it’s all about keeping the fatalities within a predetermined figure!
However, the police will have a hard time concealing the fatalities that are reported by foreign media [and are routinely left out by the local media until they become common knowledge,] like the following examples:
So, how tight is the ongoing censorship noose? Judge for yourselves, [and let’s hope you haven’t been influenced by the “fuzzy logic” taught at a local school.]
Fatal crashes year to date [according to the Ministry of Transport ]
As at 8 January 2016 there were 6 fatalities
Same time last year: 7 fatalities
http://www.transport.govt.nz/research/roadtoll/
Latest reported road-murders:
However, we’ve come across a few more “murder mysteries”.
Woman killed by a stranger
A middle-aged woman, possibly a foreigner, was exercising in leafy Remuera yesterday morning when she was attacked by a man with an unspecified weapon. Her body was found about an hour later .
“We don’t have any evidence to indicate that the accused was known to the victim,” said police.
“The alleged murderer handed himself into the police hours later, with a weapon. Charged with murder, he will appear in the Auckland District Court today.” http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11570679
Woman killed in fall from Auckland building
A woman was killed after falling from the third floor of a building on Eden Crescent in central Auckland on Wednesday. http://www.stuff.co.nz/sunday-star-times/latest-edition/latest-news/75674499/Woman-dead-after-falling-from-third-storey-of-Auckland-apartment

That’s the “good” news!
Now the police-doctored road toll: Holiday road toll rises to 12 with death of person injured on New Year’s Day; 1,617 crashes reported.
http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/75615676/holiday-road-toll-rises-to-12-with-death-of-person-injured-on-new-years-day.html
Police were called to 1,617 crashes around the country during the holiday period, which began at 4pm on December 24 and ended at 6am today. http://www.odt.co.nz/news/national/368853/12-killed-roads-over-christmas
Our “creative” police want us to believe only 12 people were killed over a 12-day holiday period, when as many as 14 road fatalities occur regularly over a busy weekend!
The police are too unintelligent not to be predictable! Before the holiday period, you could have bet with near 100 percent certainty that they would report a comparable number of road-murders to last year’s, most probably even fewer.
Sure enough, the provisional toll for the Christmas – New Year holiday period, which ended at 6am today (Tuesday), currently stands at 12 fatalities.
Allowing for one to three additional fatalities [manufacturing virtue by reporting the death of persons injured earlier 😉 ] the toll would still be lower than last year’s also-doctored total of 16. [To prove us wrong, they could up the total with one or two more fatalities.]
Now the truth!
Based on the information received from our friends throughout the country and the blog’s statistical model, the moderators believe at least 1,850 crashes have occurred on NZ roads over the holiday period, resulting in up to 50 fatalities and about 850 injuries. [Margin of error: +/- 5%]
[The official holiday road monitoring period began at 4pm on 24 December and ended at 6am today.]

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.

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.

So you want to talk about natural selection…
A female “gossip columnist,” who works for a shabby news outlet, has mocked the death of the Cook Islands family, Cindy George and her three children in Ashburton as “natural selection”.
[Incidentally, the columnist in question was herself mocked by her friends while still at school because she never washed her hands after using the toilet, despite being a chronic nail-chewer.]
The Ashburton tragedy, whether it was foul play, or an accidental disaster, had nothing to do with natural selection, other than in the diary of a racist scumbag.
However, the mechanics of natural selection do have a strong presence in New Zealand, and play an important role in the evolutionary process…
Take the 2.98 million foreign visitors who arrived in New Zealand in the year ended May 2015 (www.med.govt.nz/).
The foreign visitors who visit New Zealand each year risk becoming victims of:
- Inordinate number of homicides
- Fatal incidents in NZ’s notorious tourist deathtraps
- Deadly collisions on NZ’s deadly roads
- Lethal food poisoning
- Exposure to toxic chemicals
- Potentially deadly UV radiation
- Deadly viral infections
- Extreme sports that become life-threatening due to inadequate safety measures and/or faulty equipment
[Borrowed from Apartheid Fort New Zealand]
Yet, they keep on arriving, year after year!
Now, that’s natural selection working at its best.

Was the victim last seen in the MacDonald’s, too?
Waitemata/Orewa Police are trying to identify a man who was found dead this morning (Thursday, 11 June 2015 ) on Orewa Beach, on the northern end of the beach near the cliffs, just after 7.30am.
“The person appears to be an Asian male, aged in his mid 20’s. He does not have any identification or personal belongings on him and Police are asking for anyone who knows who he is to contact Orewa Police on 09 426 4555.”
The victim was found wearing black trackpants with a white stripe down the side, a hooded sweatshirt and orange socks.
Until Police are able to identify the man [his next of keen will not be informed?] and look into the circumstances that led to this morning’s incident [what exactly was the nature of the “incident”?] the death will continue to be treated as unexplained. [Will murder be regarded as “explained” death in NZ police parlance?]
[To our international readers, who can still read this blog: Orewa beach is described as “one of the longest and safest beaches in Auckland,” on tourist literature.]

The blog moderators strongly believe that the murder of 21-year-old Indian student Manjeet Singh was racially motivated.
Body on Mission Bay beach identified: Police
The man found dead on Mission Bay beach yesterday morning (13 May 2015) has been identified as 21 year-old Manjeet Singh, an Indian national who was in Auckland while on a student visa, police said.
Police said their inquiries into how the victim came to be dead in the water are continuing “and officers will be examining CCTV footage, bank and ‘phone records to try and establish his movements and who he was with in the city on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.”
The victim was at the Britomart McDonalds shortly after 1am yesterday, according to the police report.
Anyone with information about Mr Singh, should contact Detective Sergeant James Robson at Glen Innes CIB.
A post-mortem examination was held earlier today to establish the circumstances around Mr Singh’s death, the report said.

Officially, Seven people were killed on New Zealand roads over the holiday period
Ministry of Transport says there were only seven fatalities between 4pm on Christmas Eve and 6am today.
[We don’t believe them because the figures are doctored as usual, but that’s another story.]
List of the victims including kiwis are as follows:
- Sandy Paul Waenga Brown, 21, of Paua, was killed south of Cape Reinga in the early hours of Christmas Day.
- Olivia Lu, 11 months, died after a single-car crash on State Highway 1 near Raumati South on December 28.
- Unnamed 56-year-old woman from China was killed in a crash between Te Anau and Mossburn in Southland on December 29.
- Kahui Matauwhati, 4, of Masterton, was killed in a crash at Owhango, 21 kilometres south of Taumarunui, on December 29.
- Lynelle Joy Bray, 46, died in a collision between a bus and car in Hamilton on December 30.
- Gregory John Spargo, 50, of Auckland, died in a motorcycle crash near Bulls on New Year’s Eve
- A male motorcyclist, possibly a French national, was killed in a collision between his bike and a car on the Napier-Taihape road yesterday.
“Meanwhile Hawke’s Bay Hospital reported this morning that Manmeet Singh, the baby injured in a crash on the Taupo-Napier highway yesterday when a van plunged down a 10-metre bank, has been taken off the critical list, but his father Jagtar was still in a critical condition in intensive care,” according to a report.
Fatal Crash on SH94
A few Hours after the official holiday period ended, there was another fatal crash involving Chinese tourists:
“The crash involved three cars, the first car was a rental driven and occupied by four tourists from China,” according to a report by Fuseworks.
“The driver is a male aged 43 years in Dunedin hospital in critical condition, a female aged 56 years was found deceased at the scene, a male aged 58 years has been transferred to Christchurch hospital in critical but stable condition and a female aged 30 years is in moderate condition in Invercargill hospital.”
Fiction: Ministry of Transport says New Zealand’s annual road toll for 2013 was 254, the lowest since 1950.
Fact:
- Miracles don’t happen.
- The rules for recording road fatalities have changed.
- Many road fatalities probably go unreported if there are no [credible] witnesses.
- If the victim is fatally injured but dies on the way to hospital, or while awaiting medical attention in the emergency room, her death would not be recorded as a road kill.
- Other tricks we haven’t discovered yet.

Death Clock started ticking for Miroslav Tvaroh, 34, when he moved to New Zealand in 2005
A body, believed to be that of the Czech football coach Miroslav Tvaroh was discovered at the bottom of Castle Rock, south of Castlepoint, on boxing day. Police say he was killed when he fell about 160 metres from Castle Rock.
Castlepoint is a small coastal town on the Wairarapa coast of the Wellington Region.
“The body has not been formally identified but Tvaroh’s family in the Czech Republic has been informed and the search for him had been called off,” according to a report.
Miroslav Tvaroh loved New Zealand to Death.
Miroslav Tvaroh lived with his childhood sweetheart, Simona Vokralova, whom he had convinced to move to New Zealand.
“He brainwashed her into loving New Zealand the same way he did, he taught her to surf so they could do it together…they weren’t married but they were going down that track,” said a close friend Phil Keinzley.
“Anybody could see they were the perfect couple, she was just 100 per cent devoted to him, so this has come as a huge shock.”
Tvaroh and Vokralova had known each other since they were children and she was devastated by his death, Keinzley said.
He had previously travelled the world [and had managed to stay alive] and represented his native Czech Republic in Futsal, a type football played on a smaller pitch and mainly indoors.
A funeral service would be held for Tvaroh but the date depended on whether his parents could fly over from the Czech Republic, Keinzley said.
“They’re totally in shock.” He said

On Monday, a male Indian tourist in his late 20s was killed in a head-on car crash on on State Highway 1 just north of the Rakaia River. Driver of the other car who was also killed was a 51-year-old Pacific Islander living in Ashburton.
“Two people – a female passenger from each of the two vehicles – were badly injured. Three other vehicles were caught up in the crash, but no-one in them was hurt,” according to a report.
Their fate will never be revealed. Should they die of their injuries, their death will not be recorded as road death statistics.
