Police Wait For Details Of Decision On Bain

Police Wait For Details Of Decision On Bain

New Zealand Police National News Release

Police will wait to examine the detail of the Privy Council decision before deciding how to proceed in the Bain matter after the Privy Council referred the case back to New Zealand courts.

"When we have properly considered the decision we expect to work with Crown Law and the Dunedin Crown Solicitor to determine the process to be adopted from here", said Detective Superintendent Malcolm Burgess

Mr. Burgess said that as the matter was now back before the courts it was sub judice and he was unable to comment on the specifics of the case or the issues raised on appeal.

Mr. Burgess said he hoped other commentators would show similar restraint.
