## Resource

A tragic chapter closes as 30-year-old Kereama Rewita pleads guilty to killing Keith Pati in Hawke’s Bay — a heartbreaking case that began with a February 2025 assault in Hastings. Pati, 33, had moved to New Zealand in 2024 to build a better life for his family, remembered by loved ones as a humble, devoted father, brother, and friend — a man who put family first and cherished fishing with his kids. Rewita’s guilty plea marks a pivotal moment in the case, with sentencing set for July. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
