Disputed ownership of a car led to the violent assault on two people and an 11-year jail sentence for Napier man Thomas Milligan. In a recently released decision Milligan, 47, has been unsuccessful in appealing the length of his sentence, with Justice Neil Campbell ruling the sentence was appropriate. A man and woman came into possession of Milligan s car, a Holden ClubSport of unspecified vintage in early 2017. They believed he had given it to them as payment for money that Milligan had been given.

David Sciascia, also known as Rawiri Sciascia, stood trial in March for causing grievous bodily harm to his daughter. (File photo) The next morning, October 8, 2019, she was found in that bed in a lifeless state. An autopsy found she had a fractured skull and had suffered blunt force trauma to her head. He was not charged with killing the girl, as the cause of death could not be determined. Sciascia appeared at a two-day judge-alone trial in March before Judge Bridget Mackintosh. During the trial police prosecutor Steve Manning told the judge that Sciascia and a teenaged relative had spent the night with his grandmother, Judith Sciascia, in her house at Porangahau, Hawke’s Bay, on October 7, 2019.
