Police arrest man over alleged threat to juror
Tuesday, 17 July 2007

Police have arrested a 40-year-old man after a juror in a Wellington trial was threatened last week.

Detective Sergeant Brent Murray from the Lower Hutt police said the man had been charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice and was due to appear in Lower Hutt District Court.

The alleged incident happened during a trial in the High Court when a note saying “not guilty” and marked with a swastika was found in a juror’s home letterbox.

The trial involved three skinheads who were on Friday night found guilty of charges ranging from kidnapping to causing grievous bodily harm to Canadian tourist Jeremie Kawerninski.

The juror in the Wellington case was discharged before the trial ended.

Mr Murray said police had not ruled out the possibility that other people may have been involved.
