Robbery puts Wickliffe back in jail
PA Auckland Dean Wickliffe was sentenced to return to jail yesterday for an aggravated robbery. The crime could have become his second killing, a High Court judge said yesterday. It was fortunate staff of an Onehunga video shop did not provoke him to use the firearm he carried, Mr Justice Robertson said in the High Court at Auckland. “I would have thought you, more than anyone else in the country, would have had seared in your mind the potential danger
whenever a robbery involved a firearm,” Dean Hugh Tikahu William Wickliffe, aged 39, was jailed for years for the robbery of $3500 from Hollywood Connections Video Store on December 7. He denied the robbery and unlawful possession of a pistol, for which he was sentenced to two years jail. Wickliffe’s conviction for the murder of a jeweller, Paul Miet, in a Wellington robbery in 1972 was reduced to manslaughter in 1986 and he ,was released a year ago.
