1 min read

Statement attributable to Detective Sergeant Anna Grant:

Police acknowledge the sentence handed down in the Wellington District Court yesterday to 55-year-old Grant Hannis.

Our thoughts are with the elderly female victim and her family, as they come to terms with what has been a traumatic time for them.

Cases like these are emotional ones for those involved, including the wider families and community, and for Police staff.

We hope the sentencing goes some way to allowing the victim and those close to her to move forward.
