Please attribute to Detective Senior Sergeant Ashley Matthews, °Â²¹¾±³Ù±ð³¾²¹³Ù¨¡ CIB:
Police acknowledge the sentencing of Boston Wilson today in the Auckland High Court for the murder of 10-month-old Chance Aipolani-Nielson, who died in December 2021.
This was a senseless act of violence and our thoughts are with Chance¡¯s wh¨¡nau today as they continue to mourn his life.
While nothing will bring back Chance, nor ease the pain of not being able to see him grow up, I hope today's sentencing will bring some level of comfort to his loved ones.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the whole Operation Angora investigation team for their professionalism and diligence in what has been a very difficult case.
ENDS.
