Sadly he will end up killing a woman probably

The Herald reports:

After turning up at his former partner’s house unwanted, and repeatedly being asked to leave, Chad Lionel Erueti eventually drove off in his car.

He got to the end of the road, turned around and drove into his former partner, pinning her against a retaining wall.

It left the woman fearing she was going to die, and living in fear. …

But Judge Tini Clark was struggling to see how she could get to the home detention threshold of 24 months, given Erueti had been jailed in 2021 for “almost identical” offending. …

Over the past 10 years, Erueti had been arrested in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2023, and 2024.

“And here we are today … this is the worst offending so far.” …

In jailing him for 28 and a half months, Judge Clark told him he hoped it would be a wake-up call.

The Judge made the right call in ruling out home detention. But 28 months is still not much for what is clearly a recidivist offender who is likely to end up killing a woman eventually.
