GIRL MURDERERS’ SENTENCE
Place Of Detention To Be Decided
TALKS TODAY BY MINISTERS (From Our Parliamentary Reporter) WELLINGTON, August 31. Cabinet Ministers tomorrow will discuss where Pauline Yvonne Parker and Juliet Marion Hulme, who have been convicted of murdering Parker’s mother, will serve their sentences of detention.. The Ministers are expected to discuss the matter after the weekly meeting of the Executive Council. The Minister most directly concerned is the Minister of Justice (Mr T. C. Webb). As Minister of External Affairs, Mr Webb will leave on Thursday for Manila* to attend the talks on the proposed South-east Asian security organisation.
Where the two girls will be detained has been exercising the minds of senior officials of the Department of Justice and the Minister since sentence was pronounced last Saturday, because it is generally, held that the girls should be separated. There is only one girls’ Borstal institution in the country, and the policy is against sending girls of Parker’s and Hulme’s age to the Mount Eden Prison.
