7 years for baby Jhia killing

Two Mongrel Mob gang associates, who were in the back of a car from which a bullet was fired killing a Wanganui toddler last year - the case of Baby Jhia - were each jailed for seven years yesterday.

In the High Court at Wellington, Justice Warwick Gendall said the attitude of James William Challis, 20, and Tyrone Temappi Box, 19, since the May 5 incident was likely to keep them locked up well beyond the four-year non-parole period he enforced.
