Here at One Network Wellington Live, we bring you a heartbreaking update on a case close to home—Baby Ru. Little Nga Reo Te Huatahi Reremoana Ahipene-Wall, known as Baby Ru, died at just 21 months old. On October 22, 2023, someone rushed him to Hutt Hospital, unconscious with a fractured skull. He passed away soon after. Police call it a homicide—a cruel act against a helpless child. Yet, nearly 18 months later, no one faces charges. Six investigators work tirelessly, but the killers stay hidden. The community aches for justice. Baby Ru’s family visits his grave daily, hoping for answers.

Now, let’s link this to another horrific tale. Across the world in Georgia, USA, William Zulock and Zachary Zulock have pleaded guilty to abusing their adopted sons. They’ve each received 100 years in prison. This case exposes a vile network of predators, stopped by brave police and social media evidence. Though Baby Ru’s killers roam free, the Zulock story shows justice can strike. At One Network Wellington Live, we see these cases as connected—children betrayed by those meant to protect them. We won’t stay quiet about this evil.

The Baby Ru tragedy unfolded in a Lower Hutt home. Three adults were there that day—his mum, Storm Angel Wall, and housemates Rosie Morunga and Dylan Ross. Police name them “persons of interest.” Their stories don’t fully match the evidence, and cooperation varies. Detectives have searched the house, interviewed witnesses, and studied forensics. Still, no arrests. Every day without justice cuts deeper for Baby Ru’s whānau. Meanwhile, the Zulock case offers a different ending. William and Zachary adopted two boys through a Christian agency years ago. At first, they looked like a perfect family. But darkness grew behind closed doors.

Eventually, the Zulocks’ crimes spilled out. Investigators found over seven terabytes of proof—videos, photos, and texts showing years of abuse. It started when the boys were tiny, just three and five. The couple didn’t stop there. They shared the footage online with other paedophiles. Worse, they invited local creeps to join in, filming it all. One attack left an 11-year-old boy hurt. Messages revealed their glee—one bragged about “f***ing [his] son tonight.” Thankfully, police caught them. This nightmare ended because one man in their sick ring confessed, pointing fingers at the Zulocks.

So, what happened next? The evidence piled up fast. William admitted to six counts of aggravated sodomy, three counts of aggravated child molestation, two counts of incest, and two counts of sexual exploitation. Zachary confessed to two counts of aggravated sodomy, three counts of aggravated child molestation, two counts of sodomy, and three counts of sexual exploitation. Both got 100 years behind bars. Another man, Luis Vizcarro-Sanchez, joined their crimes. He pleaded guilty to pandering for a minor and got 60 years, with 15 in prison. Social media trapped them all—texts and videos sealed their fate.

Moreover, this ties back to Baby Ru. His case lingers, unsolved. Police beg those in the house to talk. Someone knows the truth. In contrast, the Zulocks faced justice because evidence screamed too loud to ignore. They adopted vulnerable boys, promising love through an agency now under fire. Some say it cut corners, letting predators slip through. If true, that’s a warning for us all. Adoption systems must tighten up. No child deserves this. Baby Ru’s death and the Zulocks’ acts push us to demand better—at One Network Wellington Live, we won’t let this fade.

Furthermore, these stories hit hard. AROHA—love—should rule, not pain. The Zulock boys, now 10 and 12, endured pure evil. Hopefully, they’ll heal with support and kia kaha—strength. Baby Ru never got that chance. His killers stole everything. But we can fight for others in his name. Social media helped nail the Zulocks. It’s a tool we must use wisely. Predators hide among us, often with allies covering for them. Silence isn’t an option. At One Network Wellington Live, we’ll keep shouting—child abuse won’t be tolerated here or anywhere.

Interestingly, the Zulock case shocked everyone when it broke. A wealthy couple in a fancy Atlanta suburb seemed normal. They built a dream home, earning big money weekly. Yet, their cash hid horrors. When news spread, people raged. Now, with guilty pleas, some closure arrives. The boys won’t forget, but their abusers won’t walk free. Baby Ru’s story differs—no resolution yet. We crave justice for him, just as we cheer the Zulocks’ downfall. Both cases remind us—kids need protection, not pain. Systems must step up.

Additionally, the Zulocks didn’t act alone. They ran a twisted network. Other paedophiles joined, lured by their offers. One man’s confession cracked it open. Without that, who knows how long this would’ve gone? It feels like a slick, depraved machine—evil people linked by sick desires. Social media turned against them, exposing everything. For Baby Ru, no such break has come. His killers dodge us still. But every win like the Zulocks’ case sparks hope—justice can catch up. At One Network Wellington Live, we hold onto that.

On the other hand, how do we stop this? Adoption agencies need a hard look. The Zulocks got through, despite Zachary’s past. Years back, someone accused him of raping a boy. Police didn’t act then—a missed red flag. Those boys paid for it. Baby Ru’s death mirrors this—protection failed. We need stronger checks, more eyes watching. Kids deserve safety, not suffering. The Zulock boys might recover with love. Baby Ru didn’t get that shot. At One Network Wellington Live, we push for change—child abuse won’t be tolerated.

Nevertheless, the battle continues. Paedophiles and their pathetic supporters live among us. They bank on silence. We won’t give it. The Zulock boys showed guts, inspiring us. Baby Ru’s memory fuels us too. His killers must face justice, like the Zulocks did. Social media can help—let’s wield it. Spot something off? Report it. Share tips. Stay loud. At One Network Wellington Live, we stand firm. These lovely kids can heal, but only with support. We won’t let pigs like this win.

In conclusion, these cases rip us apart. Baby Ru’s update brings no peace—his killers escape. Yet, the Zulock sentencing shines a light. Justice can prevail. Those boys might find calm, free from evil. Baby Ru didn’t get that chance, but we’ll keep his story alive. Child abuse won’t be tolerated—not on our watch. At One Network Wellington Live, we’re here, reporting, demanding more. Together, we can shield the innocent and punish the guilty. Let’s keep fighting—AROHA and kia kaha for all kids.
