Name confusion[edit]

Can someone clarify whether this guy's name is Antonie or Antoine. The title of this page says one, the article says the other. Also seems to be a common confusion across many sources. My guess is Antonie is correct and careless spell-checking regularly changes this to Antoine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.99.58.234 (talk) 22:30, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There's plenty that can be done[edit]

There are heaps of New Zealand media articles regarding the trial. It could be comprehensively written fairly easily. Fitzyp (talk) 02:51, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to try and clean up the article now. It needs to flow better and the points of information could be categorised much better. Stuart midgley (talk) 00:50, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Place of birth[edit]

Where was he born? Nietzsche 2 (talk) 09:18, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Family[edit]

Article does not mention his parents or if he has any siblings. Does anyone know anything? A person's family situation is relevant to any biography. The upbringing of a serious criminal is essential to understanding the events that lead up to his crimes. Nietzsche 2 (talk) 09:18, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

He has a sister who gave evidence at the second trial and lives overseas. [1] He also has a 15-year-old son who has just been/is about to be released from Mt Eden Prison [2] It appears he does infact have nine children. [3] Fitzyp (talk) 20:48, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Child abuse victim[edit]

Who (is alleged to) have abused him when he was a child? Did anyone (social services, police etc) take action against the people who abused him? Nietzsche 2 (talk) 08:35, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Previous violent crimes?[edit]

We know he was convicted of theft and burglary, but there is nothing on the artilce about any previous violent offending by him. It is extremely unlikely that anyone would commit such extreme crimes in their mid-thirties without having committed violent crimes beforehand. What were the violent crimes for which he had been previously convicted / prosecuted / suspected of? Nietzsche 2 (talk) 08:32, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

He has almost 170 convictions. [4] Fitzyp (talk) 20:55, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Been in children's home or mental hospital?[edit]

Had he ever been put into care as a child, or in mental hospital at any time? It would be a serious mistake by the authorities if they hadn't taken him away from the people who abused him when he was a child, nor attempted to treat his mental disorders. Nietzsche 2 (talk) 08:40, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find any sources saying that he was. Fitzyp (talk) 20:57, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Being monitored in January 2003?[edit]

Was he on probation or otherwise being monitored by the authorities when he committed the sword attacks and gun murder? If not, why was someon with such a long criminal record not being monitored? If so, did no-one notice him becoming more violent and more seriously mentally ill? How soon before those crimes was most recently released from prison? The authorities made serious failures regarding this man. Nietzsche 2 (talk) 09:10, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Faking insanity?[edit]

Wasn't there speculation that he was faking insanity during the trial? (hence the haircut) Anyone got a source of this opinion? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.78.240.7 (talk) 01:27, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
