Murder

Former University of Otago lecturer Clayton Weatherston has been committed for trial after pleading not guilty to murdering ex-girlfriend Sophie Elliott.
From the ODT.

Depositions are over for the Sophie Elliott murder which I've been following since day one. As an economics student at Otago myself I found this quite shocking.

It's interesting that Weatherston has elected to plead not guilty. I'm no lawyer but the evidence seems pretty damning and everyone I've talked to seems convinced of his guilt. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out.
