Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I werohia e tētahi kaunihera 73-tau te pakeke o tana wahine e waru ngā wā ki tētahi maripi kihini e whitu inihi i muri i tana kitenga i te whanaungatanga o te wahine ki te kaikawe mēra, i rongo te kōti. I noho a Hohepa O'Riordan ki te Kaunihera o Poilegate i Te Tairāwhiti o Hāpana i te wā i whakapāhātia ai e ia ko tana wahine, ko Amanda, 47 tau te pakeke, he pāhāhā tāna, ā, i utua e ia tētahi kaitātaki tūmataiti kia whai i a ia. I rongo te marae o Brighton kua whakaae raua ki te noho tahi engari i whakaekea ia e O'Riordan i muri mai - i werohia ia i te uma, i te tinana, i nga ringa me te tuara. I werohia e Hohepa O'Riordan tana wahine tekau tau a Amanda (maui) me te maripi kihini e whitu inihi e waru nga wa. Kua tekau tau te tokorua e marena ana i te wa i kitea ai e O'Riordan, ko ia hoki te perehitini o tana Royal British Legion o te rohe, i tae atu ki te huihuinga kari a te Kuini i te tau 2013 mo tana mahi i nga whakanui o te Diamond Jubilee, i kitea e tana wahine he hononga ki tetahi tangata i whakaingoatia i te kooti ko Nicholas Gunn. Ko Mr Gunn te kaikawe i te rohe o te tokorua i mua i tana neke atu i te rohe. Whai muri i tana whakapae i a Mrs O'Riordan, i whakamahia e te O'Riordan hae te taputapu aroturuki GPS hei tirotiro i ana haerenga motuka me te utu i tetahi kairangahau motuhake ki te whai i a ia. I te rā o te whakaekenga, i te Oketopa o te tau kua hipa, i te whare o te whaea o Mrs O'Riordan te tokorua hei āwhina i te hoko taonga i te wā i whiwhi ai te kaunihera i tētahi waea, e kiia ana na Mr Gunn. I a ia e whakaatu ana i roto i tētahi uiuinga i tuhia i mua, ka mea a Mrs O'Riordan: 'I muri i te waea waea ka hoki mai ia ki roto i te ruma, ā, ka kite ahau i tētahi huringa i roto i tōna āhua. 'I mahue mātou i te kāinga o tōku māmā ki te tiki kai i KFC, ā, i roto i te motokā ka mea a Joe ki ahau, "ka taea pea e koe te kī he mea he". 'Kātahi ka kī mai a ia kua utua e ia tētahi kaitirotiro tūmataiti, ā, ka kī mai ki ahau kua teka ahau ki a ia mō ngā waea i tae mai ki ahau.' I a ia e hoki ana ki te kāinga, ka ngana a Mrs O'Riordan ki te puta i te waka, engari ka toia ia ki roto, ā, ka mau i a ia e tana tāne kia kore ai ia e rere. I to rātau taenga ki te kāinga, ka haere tonu ia ki te rūma moe ki te tuku i tana putea ā-ringa, ā, ka ui a O'Riordan he aha i kore ai ia e tango i tana koti....
E kiia ana ko Hohepa O'Riordan i kaha ake tana whakaaro ki tana wahine, a, ka utua e ia he kaitirotiro. I kitea e te kaunihera o te tāone he pāhāhā a Amanda ki te kaikawe mēra. E kīia ana kua werohia e ia tōna uma, tōna hope me tōna tuara, e kī ana ki a ia, 'He hapa nāu' I rongo te marae i te karanga 999 i reira ka whakaae ia ki te whakaeke engari ka whakakahore ki te whakamatau.
