Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko te tangata i whakawakia mo te whakamahi i a Facebook ki te kukume i tetahi taiohi ki tana mate i whakaae ki te kohuru ki tana hoa wahine o mua, e ai ki tana whakaaturanga i te kooti i te Mane. E whakapae ana a Kyle Dube, 21, o Orono, Maine, i te whakamahi i tētahi pūkete pāpāho pāpori rūpahu ki te hopu i a Nichole Cable, 15 tau, o Glenburn, ka patu i a ia i te marama o Mei 2013. E ai ki te pūrongo a te Bangor Daily News, i whakaatu a Sarah Mersinger, te hoa wahine o mua o Dube, i te Mane, i kī atu ia ki a ia i whakamate ia i a Nichole. E ai ki a Mersinger, i taupokina e Dube te tinana o Nichole ki ngā rau me ngā rākau. I roto i tētahi whakaaturanga ā-hinengaro, ka tapiritia e ia: 'I ki mai ia ki a au, i werohia ia e ia i te pito o tana huarahi. I kii ia i whakapiri i tana waha, i ona kanohi, i ona ringa, i ona waewae. He mahere matatini? Ko Kyle Dube, 21, (i te taha maui i te kooti i te wiki kua hipa) i whakapae i te taha maui o Nichole Cable, 15, (matau) i te tau 2013 kia taea ai e ia te whakaeke i te whakaoranga me te whakanui i a ia hei toa. I kii tana hoa wahine o mua ki te kooti i whakaae ia ki te patu i a ia, me te maka i tona tinana ki te ngahere i Bangor, Maine. Ka mea ia i tangohia e ia ona kakahu kia kore ai nga kuri pirihimana e hongi i a ia, ka mea ia i hipoki ia ia ki nga rakau me nga rau, kia kore ai ratou e kite i a ia i te rangi. I rongo te kōti ka noho a Mersinger i ngā rā 18 ki te 19 o te 21 i te whare i noho tahi ai a Dube me ōna mātua, me tētahi tamahine e whā tau te pakeke mai i tētahi atu whanaungatanga. I kii ano a Mersinger ki te kaunihera kua tutaki ia ki a Dube i runga i a Facebook, i reira ka tiimata te tuku korero ki a raatau ano. I tīmata rātau ki te taupatupatu i Whiringa-a-rangi 2012 engari kāore i whakaaetia e tōna māmā. E mea ana te hunga whakapae he taunakitanga DNA e hono ana a Dube ki te ngaro o Nichole. E ai ki ana roia, i patua e tētahi atu te ākonga kura tuarua. Kei te whakaae a Dube kaore ia i te hara mo te tangohanga me te kohuru, e kii ana ko tetahi atu i mahi i nga mahi kino. I te wā o te rerenga whakawa i te wiki kua pahure ake nei, i kīia e Dube e hiahia ana ki te hopu i a ia, kātahi ka whakatakoto i tētahi whakaoranga rūpahu kia kiia ai ia he toa. E ai ki te whakapae, i kitea te pūkete teka ki tōna kāinga, i kitea tōna DNA i runga i tētahi potae i te pito o te huarahi o Nichole, ā, ko ngā pūkete pūkoro e whakaatu ana i a ia i te rohe o Nichole...
