Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  E whakakahore ana a Edwin Mee i ngā mahi tūkino ā-waha e kīia ana e te hunga amuamu i puta i a ia e mahi ana hei kaitiaki whakauru i Croydon. Kua whakakahoretia e tētahi kaitiaki hōia o te ope taua i mahi tahi me ngā Rōpū Motuhake i Iraki ngā whakaekenga ā-ira ki ngā kōtiro wahine 11 - e kī ana 'kāre i puta.' E kiia ana ko Edwin Mee, 46, i tūkino i tana tūranga mana ki te tūkino, ki te tūkino rānei i ngā tāngata 11 e whakapaehia ana i a ia e mahi ana i tētahi pokapū mahi a te ope taua i Croydon, ki te tonga o Rānana. Ko te pirihimana Scottish - e mohiotia ana ko 'Jock' - i whakapaehia i whakaekea nga wahine mai i te 15 ki o ratou tau rua tekau tau i waenga i te Oketopa 2010 me te Mahuru 2011. I te haerenga ki te pouaka kaiwhakaatu ki te whakaatu i te Southwark Crown Court o Rānana i tenei ra, i korero a Mee ki nga kaiwhakawa mo tana mahi hoia, a ka tino whakakahore i nga whakapae. I whakaingoatia e ia tetahi o nga whakapae - e kii ana kua hapu ia i muri i tana raupatu - he 'waimarie' me te tangata teka. I ui a Lisa Wilding QC, te kaitiaki, ki tana kiritaki: 'Ko nga whakapae ki a koe, e pa ana ki nga kaikorero e rua, i tūkino koe i a raua, a, e pa ana ki era atu i pa atu koe ki a raua, he aha te korero a koe mo aua whakapae?' Ka whakahokia e Mee: 'Kāore i puta mai, e te Kuini.' I uru atu a Mee ki te ope taua i te 24 o ona tau, ā, i haere ia ki te mahi i Iraq - i reira ia i hono atu ai ki ngā Rōpū Motuhake, ki Afghanistan - i reira ia i hono atu ai ki tētahi rārangi parahu - me Bosnia, i rongo ai ngā kaiwhakawa. I te wā i puta mai ai ngā whakapae ki a ia, kua eke ia ki te taumata o te kaitiaki, ā, i whakamutua ia i te tau 2011. I korerotia ki te kooti i tukuna a Mee mai i te ope taua i te Paenga-whāwhā 2014. I whakamāramahia e ia he kaipūkaha tana papa i te Royal Navy, he kaiāwhina a tona whaea i te ope taua, a, ko ana tuakana-tuakana hoki i te ope taua. I ui atu a Lisa Wilding QC, e tiaki ana i a Mee, ki a ia he aha tana whakaaro mo tana wa i te ope taua. Ka whakahoki ia: 'E mohio ana te katoa ki taku whakaaro mo te ope taua. I mahi tōku whānau i roto i a ia - ko te hōia tōku oranga, me te kore hoki o tēnei raruraru katoa, kei reira tonu ahau.' I tōna hopukina, i hoatu e Mee he whakaaturanga i whakaritea ki te pirihimana...
