INDIGNITY ON BODY
(N 7. Press Association) | AUCKLAND. The dumping of the body of a youth who died of a drug overdose constituted offering an indignity to it, Mr M. L. Morgan, S.M., said in a reserved decision. Before him was Janette Susan Nathan, aged 17, unemployed, who had pleaded not guilty in September to a charge of offering an indignity to the dead body of Mark Gregory Malov on July 16. Nathan was convicted and sentenced to Borstal training. The sentence will run concurrently with a Borstal term imposed on charges relating to the use and receiving of narcotics. Evidence taken at the hearing showed that Maloy was found lying on his back on a grass verge near Wynvard wharf. The Magistrate said Nathan, in a statement to the police, had said that it was decided to dump the body when Maloy died of a drug overdose.
