He then started smashing windows at the front of the house, causing the glass to shatter and fall into the rooms inside – including the room where his young child had been sleeping. After this he attempted to kick the front door in, and then went to his car which he also started to smash up. Police were called out to the scene after numerous calls, both from the victim and neighbours. When Herewini saw the police, he grabbed a beer bottle and hurled it at one of the constables.

Prior to the crash, Balangoda-Arachchige had flown down from Auckland to visit his friend Sanduni Rajapakse. On the evening of the 28th, the pair had met with Kelly and had gone out drinking at the night clubs in Nelson. Throughout the course of the evening, Balangoda-Arachchige consumed around eight beers as well as two shots of liqueur. Later in the night he had an argument with his wife (who was back in Auckland) via text message, and in his impaired state became angry with her and implied he was going to commit suicide. He then told Kelly and Rajapakse to get into the car, and drove them back towards Tahunanui along Haven Rd.

A boxing coach has been convicted of assault after he punched two staff members who denied him entry to a bar due to intoxication. Randall Michael Dixon, 45 of Dixon’s Boxing Gym in Richmond, pleaded guilty to two charges of assault after the incident at cocktail bar Bamboo Tiger on Bridge St last September. He was sentenced in the Nelson District Court on Wednesday. Judge Jo Rielly declined to discharge Dixon without conviction, citing a lack of evidence that a conviction would harm his business.
