Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakapuakihia e tētahi kaitohutohu ture o Virginia i herea i runga i tētahi taupatupatu moepuku ki tana kaitiaki 17 tau te pakeke kua whanau tana tamaiti. Ko te mema o te kaunihera, a Joseph Morrissey, 57, i korero ki te Richmond Times-Dispatch i te Ratapu, ko Myrna Pride, 18, i whanau mai he ataahua, he hauora 7 pauna. He tamaiti 8 ōnihi i Georgia. 'I noho au ki a Myrna, ā, he tino harikoa ia... He harikoa hoki ahau!' i kī atu ia ki te niupepa, i tāpiri mai kāore he mōhiohio mō te papa o te pēpi. Ko Morrissey, i kōwhiria mai anō i muri i ngā here i te marama o Hānuere, i tukuna mai i te whare herehere i te wiki kua hipa i muri i te whakaotinga o te whiu mō tētahi hara iti e pā ana ki te taupatupatu moepuku, i puta mai i te raumati whakamutunga. Te taupatupatu moepuku: Ko Joe Morrissey, i whakaahuatia i te marama o Hanuere, i kii he taiohi i whakapaehia e ia he moepuku ki a ia kua whanau he tama hauora. Kāore ia i whakahē i ngā whakapae i te tau kua hipa. Hei karo i te whakawakanga, kaore ia i whakahe i te marama o Tihema 2014 ki te awhina i te hara o te hunga iti i roto i te taatai moepuku e pa ana ki te kotiro 17-tau te pakeke. Na te whakaaetanga i āhei ai ia ki te karo i ngā tau tekau pea i muri i te herehere. I whakawakia ia mo te moepuku ki te taiohi i roto i ana tari ture - i mahi ai ia - me te pupuri i tetahi whakaahua tahanga o ia, i tukuna ano e ia ki tetahi hoa. I puta mai to raua hononga i muri i te kitenga o nga tuahine o Pride me te papa i tetahi whakaahua tahanga me nga korero moepuku i runga i tana waea. I whai rātou i a Morrissey rāua ko Pride mai i tētahi wharekai i tētahi pō i te marama o Akuhata 2013, kātahi ka karanga ki te pirihimana, nāna i kitea te taiohi i roto i tōna kāinga i te waenganui po. Kua whakakahore a Morrissey, he tāne e toru ana tamariki i ngā wāhine rerekē e toru, kāore ia i te moepuku ki te taiohi. Kua whakakahoretia hoki e ia te hononga. I kii a Morrissey i haere mai a Pride ki tona whare i taua po i Akuhata 2013 kaua ki te taatai, engari ki te tiki awhina ture ki te whakahoki mai i te tautoko tamariki mai i tona papa, a Coleman Pride. I te timatanga o tēnei tau, i whakawakia ia mō ngā whakapae e whā mō te whakapae i tētahi tuhinga e pā ana ki ngā utu i utua e te pāpā o Pride ki a ia. I kīia e Morrissey i whakamana i te tuhinga i roto i...
I tukuna mai te Kawana a Joseph Morrissey i te whare herehere i te wiki kua hipa i muri i te whakaoti i tana whiu mo nga whakapae i moe ia ki te kotiro, 17 i taua wa. I whakakitea e ia i te Ratapu kua whanau te taiohi, a Myrna Pride, he tama hauora; kaore i te marama ko wai te papa. I whakawakia ia mo te taatai ki te kotiro i roto i ana tari, i mahi ai ia, me te whiwhi whakaahua tahanga o ia. Kua whakakahoretia e te tokorua te hononga. Kei te anga atu ia ki ngā whakapae hara hou e whā nāna i whakatakoto i tētahi tuhinga e pā ana ki te moni i tukuna atu e te pāpā o Pride ki a ia.
