Lamosi appeared at the Blenheim District Court on Monday. Through an interpreter, he pleaded guilty to two charges of wounding a person with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. Each charge carried a maximum penalty of 14 years’ imprisonment. The summary of facts, read out in court, said a housemate, a 32-year-old Samoan man, stood up from the dinner table and challenged Lamosi, telling him to stop swearing.
The summary said Davies became “frustrated and had bouts of anxiety”, with the knowledge that he would not be able to see his son and the arguments between the couple became more prevalent. On May 3, Davies was staying at Atlantis Backpackers, at London Quay in Picton, the same day Davies’ partner planned to travel to the North Island on the ferry with their son.
