The accused, Piripi Tukaokao, claims the gun went off accidentally while trying to scare Shrimpton, and even led police to the burial site, reciting a karakia in a haunting act of remorse. He admits to cleaning the shed but denies helping move the body, fearing more than gangs — he fears being labeled a killer and shattering his family’s trust. CCTV shows Shrimpton getting into Tukaokao’s car and vanishing — never to be seen again. The trial is gripping, raw, and far from over.
