Wellington Murder Trial 💔– Facebook Messages Under Scrutiny
A 40-year-old woman is on trial at the High Court in Wellington, accused of encouraging the murder of Rau Tongia in December 2020.
Tongia was shot at his Karori home. Prosecutors allege the woman sent messages like “kill him” and “this n**** needs to go permanently”* just minutes before Shayde Weston — already convicted of the murder — arrived with a shotgun.
The Crown says the messages, recovered from Facebook data, incited the attack. Defence argues Tongia had assaulted both women earlier and Weston acted on her own, already on her way before the messages were sent.
The accused denies any role, claiming she doesn't recall sending the messages.
A tragic case of violence, revenge, and a life lost. The trial continues.💔
