A detective giving evidence in the DeLuney trial says inconsistencies in the accused's story led police to investigate the death as a manslaughter, rather than an accident. Julia DeLuney is accused of murdering her 79-year-old mother, Helen Gregory, and the trial, expected to take at least four weeks, is in its fourth day. The Crown's case was that DeLuney violently attacked her mother on the evening of January 24, 2024, at Gregory's home in Khandallah.

Details of how the police investigation into the death of Wellington woman Helen Gregory began to shift from accidental death to murder have been revealed to a jury. Julia DeLuney is accused of murdering her 79-year-old mother, Helen Gregory, at her Khandallah home in January 2024. She has pleaded not guilty to the charge. One detective told the High Court at Wellington on Wednesday that he locked down the scene when he saw the amount of blood around the house.

A detective who was among first responders to 79-year-old Helen Gregory's death has told the court he thought it was strange that her daughter, Julia DeLuney, chose to drive back to Kāpiti and get her husband instead of calling an ambulance. The trial before a judge and jury at the High Court in Wellington is set down for four to five weeks, and today entered its third day.

Witnesses have painted a picture of complicated relationships, financial difficulties and alcoholism, as the trial of Julia DeLuney, charged with killing her mother, continues. Helen Gregory, aged 79, died at her Khandallah home in January 2024. The Crown's case is that DeLuney, who first appeared in front of a judge and jury in the High Court in Wellington on Monday, attacked her mother, then staged the scene to make it look like she had suffered a fall from the attic.

The chair of a southern regional council says he is surprised by the number of available vacancies following a recent restructure. Environment Southland disestablished 51 roles and created 56 new ones in a shake-up which impacted almost a quarter of staff this year. When the proposal went live in February, a source told Local Democracy Reporting there were “lots of tears”. It has now been revealed 48 roles are yet to be filled, with the council indicating there's no rush for some.

I just made a donation to Medical Aid for Palestinians, who have the existing relationships and infrastructure to get help where it is needed https://t.co/W3H6I2Ho0C

.@Keir_Starmer @UKLabour @Meg_HillierMP I desperately want to vote Labour with confidence but my #1 concern at this time is long term safety, security & self rule for the people of #Palestine. Pls make your proposed action bold, clear & urgent so I can get behind you. #Rafah
