As stated by Detective Sergeant Caroline Wharton:
Police acknowledge the sentencing of 25-year-old William James Sio in relation to the death of his five-year-old son Ferro-James Sio.
Sio was sentenced in the Rotorua District Court today to life imprisonment with a minimum non-parole period of 17 years.
The deliberate death of a child is a tragedy for all involved.
In this case, Ferro-James was killed by the very person with a duty of care to protect him.
Our thoughts are with Ferro-James’ family and friends today as they continue to mourn his short life.
We can only hope our work to hold his murderer to account will bring them some level of comfort.
