One of the people jailed over the initial kidnapping of a woman – who was later kidnapped a second time and discovered clinging to life at Dome Valley – has had their bid for release refused.
Cameron 'Cinnamon' Hakeke was jailed for two years and five months earlier this year after being found guilty by an Auckland High Court jury for her part in one of two attacks on the then 19-year-old woman.
Hakeke's parole report reveals she had been involved in two incidents in prison.
Hakake, a transgender who identifies as a woman, was convicted of assault with an instrument and kidnapping following the victim's ordeal in which she was abducted by former friends Hakeke, Nicole Jones and Julie-Ann Torrance following a dispute over a man.
The victim, whose name is suppressed, had her hair cut off by Hakeke who was lured to the flat by her. During that attack the victim was tasered and had her belongings stolen from her by Jones and Torrance, who drove her to the Bombay Hills and ordered her not to return to Auckland.
