Man Tries to Kill Daughter for Not Going to Church
A 55-year-old man New Zealand who beat his daughter over the head with a lump of concrete when she refused to go to his Mormon church “does not understand what all the fuss is aboutâ€, the District Court in Hastings heard this week.
Uluia Muliipu appeared in court after pleading guilty to one count of assault with intent to injure.
According to the report, Judge Geoff Rea said that on February 22 this year Muliipu had become involved in an argument with his daughter who refused to attend church.
He chased her down the street and back into the house, picking up a lump of concrete along the way.
He whacked her over the head in a bedroom with the concrete, then kicked her in the face causing bruising.
Judge Rea said:
When police arrived you told them your daughter was lucky you did not kill her.
Mulipu’s daughter was taken to Hawke’s Bay Hospital with head injuries.
Defence lawyer Roger Stone told the court Muliipu had been angry his daughter refused to go to church. He was a “proud†man who was “disappointed†his daughter had elected not to follow his Mormon faith.
Judge Rea said a probation officer’s report made “grim reading†because he:
Still does not understand what all the fuss is about.
He had been ejected from an anger management course because of his views and had an inability to understand that:
Whacking someone on the head is unacceptable.
In the circumstances, the judge concluded, there was only one course of action, and he jailed Muliipu for 12 months.
