Acquitted youth welcomed home
PA Palmerston North The youth acquitted of a charge of murder of an elderly foxton woman, Lorna Robinson, was greeted by a crowd of happy friends and relatives when he arrived home a free man on Thursday evening. The youth, Darrell Wilson, was acquitted of the charge in the High Court at Christchurch on Wednesday evening. His mother, girlfriend, and other relatives were in the court to see him leave the dock a free man. Mr Wilson arrived home to a group of more than 20 waiting to greet him with drinks and “welcome home” signs plastered over the walls. He was reunited with his
seven-month-old daughter, who was born between the depositions hearing and the first trial.
