Hallo all, Just found an article, isn't it the same matter someone posted about to our mailing list last year? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/australiaandthepacific/newzealand/4520514/Boy-15-admits-murder-of-Scottish-backpacker-in-New-Zealand.html Terrible story! All the best, Andrei

A terrible story indeed. The court case was reported fairly widely in the UK media. Another report here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/north_east/7871064.stm Such a waste of a life. Tragedy is an overused word, but I think it's justified here. Norman T.
