Court

Double-killer Graeme Burton was found guilty this afternoon of attempting to murder a fellow prison inmate last year.

Wanganui toddler Karl Perigo-Check's mother and her boyfriend appeared in court today over his killing.

A former policeman said to have had free sex from a woman in exchange for turning a blind eye to her driving offences went on trial in the High Court at Christchurch today.

A Christchurch man was sentenced to nearly two years' prison today for pouring a can of toxic paint over his ex-partner.

A lawyer for Graeme Burton says he did not intend to kill a fellow prison inmate when he attacked him with a weapon late last year.

Wendy-May Connon, the woman convicted of the manslaughter of her four-year-old son in a high-speed car crash last year, is in trouble again.
