Man charged, Scott Guy murder - FINALLY!

[superman]

9 months later! That family deserve justice, thank goodness he's finally been caught. Wonder how they ended up nabbing him.

From Stuff:
"A 30-year-old Feilding man has been arrested and charged with the murder of Scott Guy.
Mr Guy was shot and killed in his driveway in the early hours of the 8th July last year and police have been investigating the case since.
Police spokeswoman Kim Perks said the man was arrested earlier today and charged with murder.
He has also been charged with arson and criminal damage relating to incidents at the Guys' property in October 2008 and January 2009.

He will appear in Palmerston North District Court tomorrow.
A second man, aged 21, was also arrested and charged with arson and criminal damage, but had not been charged in relation to the murder. He has appeared in Otago District Court.
No one else is being sought for the murder or related offences at this time.
Mr Guy's family have been advised of the arrests but the men's names have not yet been released.
Police said neither the Guy family or Scott's wife Kylee wished to make any comment and have asked for privacy to come to terms with the news. "

Interesting that Scott Guys father is ''suprised'' at who has been arrested.

I guess everybody likes to think a murderer is not somebody they know, they would prefer to think of them as "a dark and mysterious evil stranger"

Such is human nature.

Wonder how they ended up nabbing him.

I suspect either by doing some work on the earlier crimes in the hope that there would be a link to the murder or possibly the other fella arrested and not charged with the murder may have 'assisted police with their inquiries'.

They have their result. What the Courts / Justice system do with it is a whole other piece of business.

My understanding is that they have known who did it for a while,but have not been able to pin it on him,so something has changed,maybe a witness has come forward??

Well Dad Guy now has ''mixed emotions''.....

Well done NZ police!
So glad they have caught someone
Hopefully the family can find some closure....poor buggers, nine months would have be an eternity for them.

Now lets hope the slimey lawyers and judges can "actually" hand out justice for a change.
