Gairns case guilty plea An Ashburton man has admitted assaulting AJ Gairns in the early hours of May 31. Mr Gairns was found dead in a drainage area behind commercial premises on West Street the following day. A post-mortem report indicated he had drowned and during the following week four people were arrested and charged with assault with intent to rob Mr Gairns prior to his death. Yesterday Desmond Kapi Marshall, 46, of Netherby, offered a guilty plea through his defence lawyer. Judge Joanna Maze declined to enter a conviction against Marshall and remanded him in custody, where he has been held since his arrest on June 7. He will be sentenced in the Timaru District Court on August 28. The remaining three accused declined to plead to the charge during yesterday’s appearance. Olivia Toby Frances Lucas, 26, formerly of Wellington, was granted bail and remanded at large without plea to appear before the court registrar on July 29. She had been in custody since her last appearance. Kooly Managki Te Tomo, 26, of Ashburton, who had also been held in custody since his arrest on June 5, was remanded on bail on a strict 24-hour curfew, to reappear on August 21.

JUDGE’S WARNING
P6, 21
Judge Joanna Maze warned against using social media to publish suppressed details. “Anyone considering using social media to breach these suppression orders should consider the steps taken last year in this court against a person who breached a suppression order.” She was referring to sentence of two months’ community detention and 80 hours’ community work handed down to a Timaru woman who published suppressed information on Facebook. Individuals can face up to six months’ imprisonment for a knowingly or recklessly breaching suppression order, or fines up to $25,000 for an accidental breach. Verdun Ashley Perry, 24, of Mayfield, was also remanded on bail without plea, to reappear before the registrar on July 29. Name suppression for Marshall, along with the other three accused had lapsed, and publication was allowed. However, Judge Maze made it clear all evidence presented by the police prosecutor from the draft summary of facts was under strict suppression. Ph 03 307 7900 to subscribe!
