Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I whakawāteatia tētahi matua o Te Tai Tokerau o Karolina mō te whakamate i tana tama e 4 tau te pakeke, me te whakamate i ōna tamariki tokorua i muri i te angitu o te whakapae a te kaitautoko ko te 'whakamāori moe' o te tangata te take o te aitua. I whakatauhia e tētahi rōia i te Rāapa, kāore a Joseph Anthony Mitchell i hara i te kohuru me te whakamātau kohuru, i muri i te kī a tētahi kaiwhakaatu mātanga, kāore ia i te mātau i te wā o ana whakaeke e whā tau ki muri. I ui nga kaiwhakawa ki te Kai-whakawa o te Kooti Nui, a James Roberson, mehemea ka taea e ratou te whakaaro ki tetahi whakataunga iti ake mo te patu tangata, engari i kii te kaiwhakawa he mea katoa, he mea kore ranei: he kohuru, he kore hara ranei. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. Ko Christine Perolini, tuarua mai i te taha maui, i whakamariehia e nga hoa me te whanau i te Wenerei i muri i tana tahu o mua, a Joseph Anthony Mitchell, kaore i te hara mo te patu i ta raua tama e wha-tau te pakeke. Ko te whakahaerenga moe: I tautohe te roia a Mitchell kaore tana kiritaki (maui) i mohio ki te po o te Mahuru 22, 2010, i te wa i patu ai ia i tana tama 4-tau-tau, a Blake (matau) Te tangi pouri: I te urupare ki te whakatau, ka karanga te whaea pouri i te kooti: 'I rahua ahau. Kāore i taea e au te whakaora i a ia'Ka whakangaromia: I tino ohorere a Christine Perolini i te whakatau a te kawanatanga i kaha ake ai tana manawa, a, i tika kia eke ia ki runga i te moenga. I tangi a Mitchell, 50, i muri i te whakataunga ohorere, engari kaore i korero i a ia e haere ana i te kooti he tangata noa. Ko tana wahine o mua, ko Christine Perolini, i tino miharo ki te whakatau, i kaha rawa te manawa o ia, a, i eke ia ki runga i te takotoranga, i karapotia e tona whanau. I te urupare ki te whakatau, ka karanga te whaea pouri i roto i te kooti: 'I taka ahau. Kāore i taea e au te whakaora i a ia [Blake]". I kii a Mitchell kei te raru ia i te raru o te tahua, kaore hoki i te pai te moe i te wa o te mate o Blake Mitchell e 4 tau te pakeke i te marama o Hepetema 2010. E ai ki ngā kaituku, nā ēnei raruraru pūtea i akiaki a Mitchell ki te patu i te tamaiti iti, ā, ka whakamātau ki te patu i ētahi atu. I whakaaturia e ngā tamariki a Mitchell, 13 me te 10 tau te pakeke, i te kōti, i whawhai rātau ki a ia. Engari e ai ki tētahi mātanga ārai, ko te ahotea o Mitchell...
I whakatauhia e te kōti whakawakanga o Te Tai Tokerau o Carolina, kāore a Joseph Mitchell, 50, i te hara i te kohuru me te whakamātau kohuru. I patu a Mitchell i tana tama 4-tau-tau, a Blake, ka ngana ki te patu i ona tuakana tokorua i a ia e mau ana i te kopare i te Mahuru 2010. E ai ki te kaiwhakaatu tohunga he raruraru moe a Mitchell, ā, kāore i te mātau i te wā i pāngia ai e ia. I tautohe te hunga whakapae ko ngā raruraru pūtea a Mitchell i akiaki i a ia ki te patu. I muri iho ka mea nga kaiwhakawa kua herea o ratou ringa i raro i te ture no te mea kaore i whakaaetia e te kaiwhakawa kia whakawakia a Mitchell mo te kohuru.
