1
00:00:48,298 --> 00:00:51,009
I see it again...

2
00:00:52,343 --> 00:00:53,470
A beautiful girl.

3
00:00:55,847 --> 00:00:59,267
She was a sickly child
when she was born.

4
00:01:00,101 --> 00:01:02,979
Then she got asthma
during childhood

5
00:01:04,355 --> 00:01:09,277
but when she became a mother,
she was beautiful.

6
00:01:10,028 --> 00:01:12,113
A very beautiful mother.

7
00:01:17,035 --> 00:01:18,328
She smiled all the time...

8
00:01:20,205 --> 00:01:23,041
She always said hello:
“Hey auntie.”

9
00:01:27,921 --> 00:01:31,674
What happened to him is so sad,

10
00:01:31,758 --> 00:01:33,218
it still hurts me,

11
00:01:33,301 --> 00:01:36,596
it will surely make me forever,
what happened to Janet.

12
00:01:43,812 --> 00:01:47,774
You know, one day...
The girls might ask us

13
00:01:47,857 --> 00:01:49,651
and we won't get an answer.

14
00:01:51,152 --> 00:01:53,988
What to say to two pretty girls
when she asks us:

15
00:01:54,072 --> 00:01:55,573
“What happened to mom?”

16
00:03:32,337 --> 00:03:33,796
It was a nice family.

17
00:03:35,924 --> 00:03:37,759
We all went to the same school...

18
00:03:39,052 --> 00:03:41,429
We played together,
we did things together.

19
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,101
I was pretty close
of some of Janet's aunts

20
00:03:47,602 --> 00:03:48,895
on this side.

21
00:03:50,146 --> 00:03:54,400
I'm still in shock,
that they let this happen.

22
00:03:57,278 --> 00:03:58,821
That they have gone this far

23
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,658
to try to cure her.

24
00:04:23,137 --> 00:04:25,848
It was a little after 5 p.m. on a Friday.

25
00:04:26,266 --> 00:04:29,394
our communications center
received a call

26
00:04:29,477 --> 00:04:31,187
requesting police intervention

27
00:04:31,271 --> 00:04:33,147
to an address in Wainuiomata.

28
00:04:34,774 --> 00:04:36,401
My name is Tasha Penny,

29
00:04:36,484 --> 00:04:39,946
I was a police inspector in Lower Hutt,

30
00:04:40,488 --> 00:04:42,198
deputy head of operations.

31
00:04:49,831 --> 00:04:51,958
We could never have predicted

32
00:04:52,041 --> 00:04:54,294
when we entered
for the first time

33
00:04:54,836 --> 00:04:57,463
what was going to happen next,

34
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,758
was something unique,

35
00:05:01,676 --> 00:05:03,469
incredibly tragic,

36
00:05:04,304 --> 00:05:05,930
and it tested us all.

37
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,620
When working on a case,
any one,

38
00:05:30,204 --> 00:05:34,042
it's a privilege,
we have important work to do

39
00:05:34,542 --> 00:05:38,296
and we worked very hard to understand

40
00:05:39,047 --> 00:05:42,842
how a family
could have done this to one of their own.

41
00:05:48,347 --> 00:05:53,186
There were conflicting stories
on Janet's death.

42
00:05:56,773 --> 00:05:58,775
But some family members

43
00:05:58,858 --> 00:06:01,652
said she was dead
hours earlier

44
00:06:01,736 --> 00:06:05,323
of mental illness.

45
00:06:13,414 --> 00:06:16,626
We had to try to find out
what happened,

46
00:06:16,876 --> 00:06:18,294
trying to go back in time.

47
00:06:18,669 --> 00:06:21,297
We spoke to 70 people,

48
00:06:21,756 --> 00:06:23,549
we let them tell their story.

49
00:06:23,758 --> 00:06:27,303
One person's story
doesn't have as much weight,

50
00:06:28,346 --> 00:06:30,223
but when it's a lot of people

51
00:06:30,306 --> 00:06:32,141
who tell the same story

52
00:06:32,725 --> 00:06:33,976
then there is something.

53
00:06:34,060 --> 00:06:35,478
Sit down.

54
00:06:36,979 --> 00:06:41,984
The following interrogations and all
the recreated events are based on

55
00:06:42,068 --> 00:06:46,781
evidence given or heard
by the High Court of Justice.

56
00:06:47,365 --> 00:06:49,617
What is it to make a promise?

57
00:06:52,787 --> 00:06:56,332
A promise is... being loyal

58
00:06:56,415 --> 00:06:58,835
towards the person to whom we promised.

59
00:06:59,710 --> 00:07:01,254
So do you promise me

60
00:07:01,712 --> 00:07:05,049
that everything we say today
in this room will be the truth?

61
00:07:07,802 --> 00:07:09,929
Yes, if I remember.

62
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,223
So I'm going to ask you

63
00:07:12,348 --> 00:07:15,059
to read these cards aloud,
please.

64
00:07:16,519 --> 00:07:21,816
"I, Glenys Wright, declare and affirm
sincerely and truly

65
00:07:21,899 --> 00:07:23,443
that I will tell the truth

66
00:07:23,526 --> 00:07:25,278
during this interview today."

67
00:07:28,197 --> 00:07:30,575
“I, John Tahana Rawidi...

68
00:07:32,118 --> 00:07:33,703
sincerely and truly affirms

69
00:07:33,786 --> 00:07:37,248
that I will tell the truth
during today's interview."

70
00:07:40,168 --> 00:07:43,588
The family cooperated fully
with the police.

71
00:07:45,131 --> 00:07:48,092
My name is Phil Mitchell,
I was the defense attorney

72
00:07:48,176 --> 00:07:51,220
I had to investigate the matter.

73
00:07:52,430 --> 00:07:55,141
They sincerely believed
that there was something

74
00:07:55,224 --> 00:07:57,935
very bad and dangerous in it.

75
00:08:00,438 --> 00:08:02,648
We can't just

76
00:08:02,732 --> 00:08:07,195
act according to bizarre beliefs
and kill someone

77
00:08:07,278 --> 00:08:08,946
without there being any consequences.

78
00:08:10,615 --> 00:08:13,618
My name is Grant Burston,
it was my responsibility

79
00:08:13,701 --> 00:08:16,579
to lead the team of prosecutors

80
00:08:16,662 --> 00:08:18,664
who led the case against

81
00:08:18,748 --> 00:08:22,084
the people responsible
of Janet's death.

82
00:08:24,170 --> 00:08:26,631
What did you come from
talk to me today?

83
00:08:29,884 --> 00:08:32,261
Things that happened
last week.

84
00:08:33,554 --> 00:08:34,722
What ?

85
00:08:34,972 --> 00:08:37,558
By Janet Moses.

86
00:08:38,809 --> 00:08:40,102
Shall we start with that?

87
00:08:40,186 --> 00:08:41,521
I...

88
00:08:42,522 --> 00:08:47,693
since the 21st, we have been at the Palasa hotel.

89
00:08:51,614 --> 00:08:53,824
SATURDAY

90
00:08:53,908 --> 00:08:56,994
Saturday evening, there was the 21st ceremony

91
00:08:57,078 --> 00:09:00,998
for Janet's sister
at the Palasa Hotel in Wainuiomata.

92
00:09:02,833 --> 00:09:04,585
Some families are very united

93
00:09:04,669 --> 00:09:06,379
but this was extraordinary.

94
00:09:12,385 --> 00:09:13,803
A united family can

95
00:09:13,886 --> 00:09:17,473
meet every Saturday
for lunch, but these people,

96
00:09:17,557 --> 00:09:22,061
they lived together, they had their
own family sports team,

97
00:09:22,144 --> 00:09:23,354
they had a social life together.

98
00:09:23,437 --> 00:09:25,398
I remember many times,
at trial

99
00:09:25,481 --> 00:09:28,234
people say that their best friend
was their cousin.

100
00:09:28,734 --> 00:09:30,027
They did everything together.

101
00:09:39,870 --> 00:09:41,831
Janet had a rough time

102
00:09:41,914 --> 00:09:43,958
in the weeks before his death,

103
00:09:44,125 --> 00:09:47,628
we would have said
a radical change in her.

104
00:09:50,131 --> 00:09:53,134
And Jan just...sat...

105
00:09:55,803 --> 00:09:57,346
looking at the wall.

106
00:09:59,765 --> 00:10:01,142
She didn't look good.

107
00:10:03,811 --> 00:10:05,813
It was a shock

108
00:10:05,896 --> 00:10:07,648
for everyone,

109
00:10:07,732 --> 00:10:10,943
it happened so quickly.

110
00:10:12,528 --> 00:10:13,863
My name is Dr. Rees Tapsell,

111
00:10:13,946 --> 00:10:15,865
I am a consultant psychiatrist

112
00:10:15,948 --> 00:10:18,159
I’m also of Maori descent.

113
00:10:18,242 --> 00:10:25,082
and throughout my life
I was involved in... the interface

114
00:10:25,166 --> 00:10:29,211
between psychiatry
and cultural practices.

115
00:10:30,963 --> 00:10:33,424
Janet was very close

116
00:10:33,507 --> 00:10:35,176
from her grandmother

117
00:10:35,259 --> 00:10:37,637
and her grandmother was dead
quite recently

118
00:10:38,137 --> 00:10:41,599
and she was also very stressed

119
00:10:41,682 --> 00:10:43,934
through his relationships.

120
00:10:47,730 --> 00:10:49,482
And I believe that
the combination of the two

121
00:10:49,565 --> 00:10:51,609
could have had a very important role

122
00:10:51,692 --> 00:10:53,361
in pressure and stress
that she suffered.

123
00:10:58,908 --> 00:11:00,201
Who is Shane?

124
00:11:02,161 --> 00:11:04,080
He is Janet's companion,

125
00:11:05,039 --> 00:11:07,958
they have been together for nine years,
I believe.

126
00:11:10,002 --> 00:11:12,463
Tell me about him, about him that night.

127
00:11:16,675 --> 00:11:18,135
Hello, my darlings.

128
00:11:18,928 --> 00:11:20,346
Come on, let's go.

129
00:11:20,429 --> 00:11:23,015
I still hang out with my friends a little.

130
00:11:23,099 --> 00:11:24,725
Come with the children.

131
00:11:29,814 --> 00:11:31,023
Hi, Louse.

132
00:11:37,988 --> 00:11:42,493
She had learned that he had cheated on her

133
00:11:43,202 --> 00:11:47,206
and then she became very reserved.

134
00:11:52,044 --> 00:11:54,296
Did you drop Janet off somewhere?

135
00:11:55,089 --> 00:11:57,425
We went to her aunts

136
00:11:57,508 --> 00:11:59,677
and we spent the night there.

137
00:12:02,054 --> 00:12:05,599
SUNDAY

138
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,398
They are coming.

139
00:12:34,795 --> 00:12:35,796
Jan.

140
00:12:40,009 --> 00:12:41,093
Jan ?

141
00:12:54,523 --> 00:12:58,277
Hey, come back inside, now,

142
00:12:59,195 --> 00:13:01,697
Come on, everything is fine.

143
00:13:01,780 --> 00:13:03,324
Our daughter was in danger,

144
00:13:03,908 --> 00:13:06,243
we decided to take him
at my brother Johnny's

145
00:13:06,327 --> 00:13:08,704
and bring the family together for a hui,

146
00:13:09,246 --> 00:13:12,833
to talk about her,
why she was acting like that.

147
00:13:20,508 --> 00:13:21,759
You, come this way.

148
00:13:24,345 --> 00:13:26,931
I think they often had
family reunions

149
00:13:27,014 --> 00:13:28,891
to discuss everything that happened

150
00:13:28,974 --> 00:13:31,101
which is a very good tradition,

151
00:13:31,185 --> 00:13:35,314
that's probably how we did it,
generations ago.

152
00:13:37,858 --> 00:13:40,194
Unfortunately the grandmother
had died

153
00:13:40,945 --> 00:13:43,739
and she had been a great matriarch
of this family

154
00:13:43,989 --> 00:13:47,910
for a long time
and she always took charge

155
00:13:47,993 --> 00:13:50,162
of this kind of situation
but she was no longer there.

156
00:13:55,668 --> 00:13:57,670
At these meetings, there is someone

157
00:13:57,753 --> 00:14:00,756
who leads or who speaks,
how does it work?

158
00:14:01,966 --> 00:14:07,680
Yes, it's John,
he's like the head of the family.

159
00:14:12,309 --> 00:14:14,645
We put all our ideas together

160
00:14:15,688 --> 00:14:18,315
to resolve the problem with Janet.

161
00:14:23,571 --> 00:14:25,656
Usually she's a happy girl.

162
00:14:28,409 --> 00:14:30,244
We all knew
that something was wrong.

163
00:14:32,955 --> 00:14:34,123
Something deep.

164
00:14:42,923 --> 00:14:46,343
She wasn't crying or anything.

165
00:14:46,844 --> 00:14:50,890
she was sitting there,
and even though she was hot,

166
00:14:50,973 --> 00:14:53,601
she didn't take off her jacket.

167
00:14:54,977 --> 00:14:58,772
We went to see her to tell her:

168
00:14:58,856 --> 00:15:03,027
&quot;I'm sorry if I hurt you,&quot;
stuff like that,

169
00:15:03,444 --> 00:15:06,655
“We are all here for you,
we love you,” and everything.

170
00:15:07,823 --> 00:15:10,159
Did Janet speak at this meeting?

171
00:15:12,077 --> 00:15:15,164
She was looking at the ground, that's all.

172
00:15:44,109 --> 00:15:45,402
It is very difficult to be certain

173
00:15:45,486 --> 00:15:47,738
about what really happened to Janet

174
00:15:47,821 --> 00:15:49,573
but all the evidence I've seen,

175
00:15:49,657 --> 00:15:53,243
suggest she was becoming psychotic

176
00:15:53,327 --> 00:15:58,374
and that she had changes
in extreme moods.

177
00:15:58,916 --> 00:16:00,960
It's very common among people,

178
00:16:01,043 --> 00:16:04,630
to incorporate what others say

179
00:16:04,713 --> 00:16:08,092
and what others do
in your psychotic belief

180
00:16:08,175 --> 00:16:11,804
and this reinforces in those
who surround this person

181
00:16:12,179 --> 00:16:15,015
their way of understanding this behavior.

182
00:16:15,224 --> 00:16:16,850
It could be depression.

183
00:16:18,936 --> 00:16:21,355
Can you imagine how easy it is?

184
00:16:21,438 --> 00:16:23,691
to enter this vicious circle.

185
00:16:26,694 --> 00:16:28,237
But it is important to remember

186
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,116
that I have a particular medical paradigm

187
00:16:32,199 --> 00:16:34,952
in the way I approach
mental illness...

188
00:16:36,537 --> 00:16:38,789
And everyone
does not share this paradigm.

189
00:16:44,211 --> 00:16:45,921
is my ancestral mountain.

190
00:16:48,382 --> 00:16:49,675
is my tribe.

191
00:16:50,509 --> 00:16:55,806
where I live.

192
00:16:57,891 --> 00:16:59,977
and my name is Pouroto Ngaropo.

193
00:17:00,060 --> 00:17:03,480
I had the privilege and the honor
to be the cultural advisor

194
00:17:03,564 --> 00:17:05,899
of the prime minister
from New Zealand,

195
00:17:05,983 --> 00:17:07,609
the Right Honorable Helen Clark.

196
00:17:08,027 --> 00:17:10,571
We can't walk away completely
of the spiritual world

197
00:17:10,654 --> 00:17:12,281
and from the Maori point of view...

198
00:17:13,115 --> 00:17:15,826
we are both

199
00:17:15,909 --> 00:17:17,995
and human.

200
00:17:20,414 --> 00:17:21,957
Over the past 200 years,

201
00:17:22,416 --> 00:17:25,169
colonization took place

202
00:17:25,627 --> 00:17:28,505
where many of our beliefs and values

203
00:17:29,048 --> 00:17:30,591
have been replaced.

204
00:17:31,717 --> 00:17:35,220
It is important to hold on
to traditional Maori beliefs...

205
00:17:36,263 --> 00:17:39,433
Maori culture,
customs and practices,

206
00:17:39,516 --> 00:17:42,269
in particular... Maori spirituality.

207
00:17:43,729 --> 00:17:46,857
Those who believe,
those who have knowledge,

208
00:17:46,940 --> 00:17:49,902
recognition
and respect for the spiritual kingdom

209
00:17:49,985 --> 00:17:51,945
know that there are things
in the spiritual world

210
00:17:52,029 --> 00:17:53,447
which are positive

211
00:17:53,530 --> 00:17:57,409
but there are also spirits
which have a negative nature.

212
00:18:01,246 --> 00:18:04,374
What else did you talk about
at this meeting?

213
00:18:20,140 --> 00:18:21,683
There was a lion statue

214
00:18:21,767 --> 00:18:24,978
which had been stolen
a few weeks ago

215
00:18:25,062 --> 00:18:26,855
at the Greytown Hotel.

216
00:18:33,695 --> 00:18:37,533
Janet's sister, she had taken atua

217
00:18:37,616 --> 00:18:42,663
at the Greytown Hotel, a lion,
a white lion.

218
00:18:43,205 --> 00:18:46,083
- It's so heavy.
- My muscles hurt.

219
00:18:46,166 --> 00:18:49,002
I think they stole this lion

220
00:18:49,086 --> 00:18:51,922
because they believed
that it would be a strong symbol

221
00:18:52,005 --> 00:18:54,716
to decorate the house.

222
00:18:55,843 --> 00:18:59,138
John had a lion tattoo,

223
00:18:59,221 --> 00:19:02,975
the lion was a symbol of family

224
00:19:03,058 --> 00:19:05,477
and the symbol of their sports group.

225
00:19:06,937 --> 00:19:08,230
My name is Heather Kavan.

226
00:19:08,313 --> 00:19:10,983
I give lectures
at Massey University.

227
00:19:11,066 --> 00:19:14,069
I'm researching experiences
extraordinary nuns.

228
00:19:14,319 --> 00:19:17,156
I studied the Moses murder trial

229
00:19:17,239 --> 00:19:19,032
and I felt a connection with this matter

230
00:19:19,116 --> 00:19:21,618
because I grew up in Wainuiomata

231
00:19:21,702 --> 00:19:25,247
and Wainuiomata is a place,
it is a periphery,

232
00:19:25,330 --> 00:19:28,083
it is surrounded by hills,
very isolated,

233
00:19:28,167 --> 00:19:31,211
but there are niches
of intense spirituality.

234
00:19:43,098 --> 00:19:45,392
My name is Tamati Cairns,

235
00:19:45,475 --> 00:19:50,355
I come from Wainuiomata,

236
00:19:51,190 --> 00:19:53,025
I have lived in Wainuiomata since 1981.

237
00:19:53,775 --> 00:19:56,361
I was in charge of the program
of social work.

238
00:19:57,029 --> 00:20:00,532
During a session,
Hohepa Kereopa was there,

239
00:20:00,616 --> 00:20:03,827
he guided us to a small stream
to Waymanner he said:

240
00:20:03,911 --> 00:20:06,330
“Choose a small pebble.”

241
00:20:06,413 --> 00:20:10,125
"Give your pebble
someone's name

242
00:20:10,209 --> 00:20:12,169
or something special
in your life."

243
00:20:13,212 --> 00:20:14,504
And we did it.

244
00:20:15,047 --> 00:20:18,800
Then Hohepa did
the traditional karakia.

245
00:20:19,593 --> 00:20:21,386
I name my atua

246
00:20:21,470 --> 00:20:22,888
according to my kuia

247
00:20:22,971 --> 00:20:25,557
who is in this photo,

248
00:20:25,641 --> 00:20:27,017
and after the karakia, he said:

249
00:20:27,100 --> 00:20:31,897
"If your heart is harmony
with your decision

250
00:20:33,315 --> 00:20:36,944
and you believe in the power of karakia,

251
00:20:37,319 --> 00:20:39,488
this stone is now atua

252
00:20:43,408 --> 00:20:47,412
In the case of the lion, Janet believed...

253
00:20:48,455 --> 00:20:49,706
that something was wrong.

254
00:20:51,583 --> 00:20:54,336
This condition is in the eye of the believer.

255
00:20:55,837 --> 00:20:58,340
Not in our interpretation
or translation...

256
00:20:59,925 --> 00:21:02,511
nor what we think it is.
It is what it is.

257
00:21:05,681 --> 00:21:07,224
Family members
accompany Janet

258
00:21:07,307 --> 00:21:09,851
at the small apartment in Wainuiomata

259
00:21:09,935 --> 00:21:12,688
which was his grandfather's house.

260
00:21:15,607 --> 00:21:19,569
We prepared the bedroom
for Janet,

261
00:21:19,653 --> 00:21:22,906
but she didn't want to sleep there

262
00:21:22,990 --> 00:21:26,159
and she slept in Karl's bed
in the living room.

263
00:22:16,376 --> 00:22:21,548
I was raised
with the spirits and all that,

264
00:22:23,050 --> 00:22:25,927
but with my education,
when we take something

265
00:22:26,011 --> 00:22:28,847
wherever it was taken,

266
00:22:29,765 --> 00:22:33,477
yes, she must have been hit,
something happens to you,

267
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,520
but it always hits the weakest.

268
00:22:37,522 --> 00:22:38,857
And Janet was

269
00:22:38,940 --> 00:22:40,484
the weakest of all,

270
00:22:40,567 --> 00:22:42,736
yes, that struck Janet.

271
00:22:51,703 --> 00:22:54,247
Around midnight, Alene called.

272
00:22:55,373 --> 00:22:57,000
Said we were supposed to meet at dad's house

273
00:22:57,084 --> 00:23:00,545
because Ollie, Janet's mother,

274
00:23:01,379 --> 00:23:03,256
she was starting to get scared.

275
00:23:08,386 --> 00:23:11,932
No !

276
00:23:18,730 --> 00:23:20,732
We stayed awake
all Sunday with her.

277
00:23:21,316 --> 00:23:25,195
MONDAY

278
00:23:25,278 --> 00:23:28,865
They contacted an uncle, Jimmy Rahi,

279
00:23:28,949 --> 00:23:32,577
a tohunga, a Māori priest.

280
00:23:34,371 --> 00:23:36,248
The prosecution did not question

281
00:23:36,331 --> 00:23:39,126
the intervention of the tohunga.

282
00:23:39,209 --> 00:23:42,838
It's entirely appropriate
in Maori culture.

283
00:23:46,174 --> 00:23:48,510
The tohunga is the intermediary

284
00:23:48,593 --> 00:23:50,428
between the spiritual and the physical,

285
00:23:50,512 --> 00:23:52,305
the axis mundi.

286
00:23:52,389 --> 00:23:55,976
It's like consulting
the priest of a church.

287
00:24:01,189 --> 00:24:03,567
They completely trust

288
00:24:03,650 --> 00:24:05,694
to the advice given to them by the tohunga.

289
00:24:05,777 --> 00:24:08,738
This advice was the cause of everything.

290
00:24:10,490 --> 00:24:14,536
Anything to help the family.

291
00:25:01,833 --> 00:25:03,585
It wasn't until Jimmy came

292
00:25:04,044 --> 00:25:05,462
that we were told it was...

293
00:25:08,632 --> 00:25:10,050
makutu.

294
00:25:23,396 --> 00:25:24,940
Tell me about the curse,

295
00:25:25,023 --> 00:25:27,108
what do you mean
when you say curse?

296
00:25:31,738 --> 00:25:32,864
It is...

297
00:25:33,531 --> 00:25:35,909
It’s a Maori curse.

298
00:25:37,285 --> 00:25:42,791
It makes you...
mentally ill, I believe.

299
00:25:45,877 --> 00:25:47,629
It's difficult to explain.

300
00:25:52,926 --> 00:25:55,553
Makutu is not something

301
00:25:55,637 --> 00:25:59,432
which can be considered as an oddity

302
00:25:59,516 --> 00:26:01,518
it's just part

303
00:26:01,601 --> 00:26:06,106
of the Maori understanding of life.

304
00:26:11,319 --> 00:26:13,488
Traditionally, makutu

305
00:26:13,571 --> 00:26:17,867
was used as a means of protection
or as a revenge mechanism

306
00:26:18,076 --> 00:26:20,370
if someone had killed
or hurt your family.

307
00:26:23,206 --> 00:26:26,668
It's a curse that hurts their soul,

308
00:26:26,751 --> 00:26:28,712
their mind, their heart, who they are.

309
00:26:32,507 --> 00:26:33,883
It is very difficult

310
00:26:33,967 --> 00:26:36,970
for a Pakeha,
a European from New Zealand

311
00:26:37,304 --> 00:26:39,389
to have information from the Maori

312
00:26:39,472 --> 00:26:41,016
on the makutu

313
00:26:41,308 --> 00:26:44,060
but I managed to discover one thing,

314
00:26:44,144 --> 00:26:47,856
it is a thesis written by Clive Clinton.

315
00:26:47,939 --> 00:26:51,067
The Maori told him
that they often thought

316
00:26:51,151 --> 00:26:54,571
that white Pakeha doctors

317
00:26:54,654 --> 00:26:58,908
made diagnostic errors
on makutu

318
00:26:58,992 --> 00:27:00,994
confusing them with
psychiatric illnesses.

319
00:27:02,620 --> 00:27:03,955
What happened next?

320
00:27:06,708 --> 00:27:10,462
He blessed her with water,
like Christian baptism...

321
00:27:12,172 --> 00:27:14,382
and karakia to repel evil.

322
00:27:17,177 --> 00:27:19,804
We never talk about these things.

323
00:27:21,765 --> 00:27:25,769
In 1814, our ancestors
were confronted with Christianity

324
00:27:25,852 --> 00:27:27,395
and only in the Bay of Islands

325
00:27:27,479 --> 00:27:29,814
and now this is how

326
00:27:29,898 --> 00:27:32,567
our people see our own concepts.

327
00:27:33,068 --> 00:27:34,694
There has been a complete change

328
00:27:34,778 --> 00:27:38,114
of spiritual structure
of Maori society

329
00:27:39,032 --> 00:27:42,118
and now we are
confronted with the makutu,

330
00:27:42,202 --> 00:27:44,537
do we really understand each other well
what is happening?

331
00:27:48,208 --> 00:27:49,542
And what do we do

332
00:27:49,626 --> 00:27:51,878
to make sure you give the right advice...

333
00:27:53,129 --> 00:27:54,172
around us?

334
00:27:57,759 --> 00:28:01,471
At this time, Jimmy Rahi
had a revelation,

335
00:28:02,263 --> 00:28:03,264
a revelation

336
00:28:03,348 --> 00:28:06,351
which changed dramatically
the course of events.

337
00:28:07,060 --> 00:28:13,566
He said he had a vision
of three claws and Janet.

338
00:28:22,909 --> 00:28:24,536
He advised the family

339
00:28:24,619 --> 00:28:27,956
to bring the stone lion back to Greytown

340
00:28:28,039 --> 00:28:31,000
because he had a companion
there who was missing

341
00:28:31,835 --> 00:28:36,214
and it was very important
let them be reunited.

342
00:28:37,841 --> 00:28:41,219
Jimmy said the lions were together
for over 100 years.

343
00:28:43,304 --> 00:28:44,723
And what did Jimmy do?

344
00:28:46,057 --> 00:28:48,184
I believe he blessed the...

345
00:28:49,769 --> 00:28:51,604
and he said that the lion
had to go back there.

346
00:28:58,820 --> 00:29:02,115
A spiritual possession
is an extremely serious thing...

347
00:29:03,575 --> 00:29:05,493
it's a question
life or death, right?

348
00:29:08,163 --> 00:29:10,206
The role of the tohunga is to protect life,

349
00:29:11,791 --> 00:29:15,086
to take care of the spiritual
and protect the family.

350
00:29:47,786 --> 00:29:50,497
TUESDAY

351
00:29:51,289 --> 00:29:53,166
So the next day, a Tuesday,

352
00:29:53,249 --> 00:29:56,586
there was a convoy
eight or nine vehicles

353
00:29:56,669 --> 00:29:59,756
who went from Wainuiomata to Wairarapa,

354
00:29:59,839 --> 00:30:01,800
at the Greytown Hotel.

355
00:30:02,675 --> 00:30:04,928
From there, many of them

356
00:30:05,011 --> 00:30:08,056
didn't even go to work anymore
for a week,

357
00:30:08,139 --> 00:30:12,519
they were with her all the time,
to watch over her

358
00:30:13,019 --> 00:30:15,772
they were dedicated to his health.

359
00:30:18,733 --> 00:30:23,738
Janet was there, Jimmy Rahi was there,
Janet's namesake,

360
00:30:23,822 --> 00:30:26,074
his paternal grandmother was there,

361
00:30:26,157 --> 00:30:29,160
we know because there was an incident

362
00:30:29,244 --> 00:30:31,412
which alarmed everyone.

363
00:30:42,006 --> 00:30:42,966
Janet.

364
00:30:48,930 --> 00:30:50,223
You shouldn't even be here.

365
00:30:50,306 --> 00:30:51,724
What are you doing here?

366
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,353
- No.
- Come on, my daughter, calm down.

367
00:30:55,436 --> 00:30:56,354
No.

368
00:30:56,437 --> 00:30:57,564
Calm down, are you okay?

369
00:30:57,647 --> 00:30:59,816
When this car stops,
I will kill you!

370
00:31:02,193 --> 00:31:06,322
I'm going to kill you!

371
00:31:06,406 --> 00:31:07,949
I'm going to kill you!

372
00:31:41,065 --> 00:31:42,901
And what happened in Greytown?

373
00:31:45,069 --> 00:31:47,530
We parked outside a pub...

374
00:31:50,158 --> 00:31:56,039
we went around from behind,
and we took out the lion.

375
00:33:17,078 --> 00:33:19,998
In the spiritual domain of the Maori

376
00:33:20,081 --> 00:33:25,336
everything speaks of good and love,
no death.

377
00:33:30,341 --> 00:33:31,676
It's done, my daughter.

378
00:33:32,385 --> 00:33:34,637
I believe in my heart

379
00:33:34,721 --> 00:33:36,723
that they know within their family...

380
00:33:36,806 --> 00:33:38,099
Everything is fine, my daughter.

381
00:33:39,308 --> 00:33:41,561
...that through the power of prayer,

382
00:33:41,644 --> 00:33:43,479
through the power of good,

383
00:33:44,105 --> 00:33:46,065
all the curses
can be lifted.

384
00:33:53,364 --> 00:33:57,910
Apparently, within hours
which followed, she recovered,

385
00:33:59,579 --> 00:34:02,665
everyone felt a weight
had been kidnapped

386
00:34:02,749 --> 00:34:06,252
and things would get better
from there.

387
00:34:12,175 --> 00:34:16,137
We came back from Greytown to Wainilly

388
00:34:16,804 --> 00:34:19,807
and I believe that everyone
went to Karl's house

389
00:34:21,017 --> 00:34:26,773
and we ate fish and chips.

390
00:34:45,458 --> 00:34:47,210
The tohunga said to them: “You know,

391
00:34:47,293 --> 00:34:49,003
I did what I could,

392
00:34:49,087 --> 00:34:52,340
you brought back the lion,
and she looks better.”

393
00:34:55,426 --> 00:34:57,428
I think that's the point
crucial tragic

394
00:34:57,512 --> 00:34:59,305
of what happened.

395
00:35:09,273 --> 00:35:12,276
What the uncle says is that Janet

396
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,112
had to rest and take care of herself.

397
00:35:14,195 --> 00:35:17,782
Of the three things that were in her,

398
00:35:18,991 --> 00:35:23,496
I think two
had to do with the lion,

399
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,333
and the last one had to do with...

400
00:35:28,084 --> 00:35:30,503
his...Shane.

401
00:35:31,462 --> 00:35:33,422
It had to do with his mate,

402
00:35:33,714 --> 00:35:37,385
she was being mistreated
mentally and verbally by him.

403
00:35:38,261 --> 00:35:40,596
Uncle Jimmy said
that he had done his part,

404
00:35:42,014 --> 00:35:44,684
but he wouldn't care
of the relationship with Shane,

405
00:35:46,060 --> 00:35:47,895
that it's family
who should take care of it.

406
00:35:51,941 --> 00:35:55,319
Unfortunately the tohunga had
planned medical treatment

407
00:35:55,403 --> 00:35:57,363
and he had to

408
00:35:57,446 --> 00:35:59,699
be hospitalized for several days,

409
00:35:59,782 --> 00:36:03,536
so he wasn't there and couldn't

410
00:36:03,619 --> 00:36:06,581
help the family

411
00:36:06,664 --> 00:36:09,292
when things were bad.

412
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:14,630
We were a united family

413
00:36:15,631 --> 00:36:18,509
and we always got together
to solve our problems.

414
00:36:21,596 --> 00:36:23,806
And the people who died

415
00:36:23,890 --> 00:36:26,893
are always there to guide us.

416
00:36:28,978 --> 00:36:32,899
Leave in peace and with love

417
00:36:32,982 --> 00:36:36,777
Leave in peace and with love

418
00:36:47,330 --> 00:36:52,418
Speaking to the demon
that they believed to be in her,

419
00:36:52,585 --> 00:36:57,173
they repeated constantly.

420
00:37:05,473 --> 00:37:10,811
They are coming, they are coming.

421
00:37:10,895 --> 00:37:13,314
Money, money.

422
00:37:13,397 --> 00:37:14,649
It's...

423
00:37:19,612 --> 00:37:21,364
She was trying
to tell us something...

424
00:37:22,031 --> 00:37:23,449
it was like a puzzle...

425
00:37:24,951 --> 00:37:27,286
try to put the pieces together
to solve it

426
00:37:27,370 --> 00:37:29,163
THE SHOT THE SHOT THE SHOT
MONEY? MONEY

427
00:37:29,247 --> 00:37:32,083
and when we have succeeded
everything would appear clearly.

428
00:37:46,013 --> 00:37:47,139
WEDNESDAY

429
00:37:57,900 --> 00:38:02,238
Lord Jesus,
we are gathered in your name

430
00:38:02,571 --> 00:38:07,368
and it is written that whatever
we asked, it will be granted.

431
00:38:08,035 --> 00:38:13,582
We ask for complete healing
by Janet Moses.

432
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,544
We ask this in your name, Jesus,

433
00:38:16,919 --> 00:38:18,504
thank you, Lord.

434
00:38:19,547 --> 00:38:23,384
We received the blessings
for this child...

435
00:38:23,467 --> 00:38:24,552
...and love.

436
00:38:24,635 --> 00:38:25,886
...Amen.

437
00:38:25,970 --> 00:38:29,473
Leave in peace and with love.

438
00:38:37,023 --> 00:38:40,484
Everyone do
its waters and washes itself

439
00:38:40,568 --> 00:38:42,111
before the karakia.

440
00:38:42,862 --> 00:38:44,488
Then, in the middle of the circle,

441
00:38:44,572 --> 00:38:47,700
surrounded by everyone
joining hands,

442
00:38:48,492 --> 00:38:50,286
reciting the karakia.

443
00:38:51,078 --> 00:38:52,872
Let Janet's waters be done.

444
00:38:52,955 --> 00:38:55,958
Leave in peace and with love.

445
00:38:56,042 --> 00:38:59,420
- Drink.
- Leave in peace and with love.

446
00:39:00,004 --> 00:39:03,049
This family had a long history
with water,

447
00:39:03,132 --> 00:39:05,801
they had rituals
that they had learned

448
00:39:05,885 --> 00:39:08,721
of their grandmothers
and what they were talking about,

449
00:39:08,804 --> 00:39:09,930
I remember that during the trial

450
00:39:10,014 --> 00:39:11,682
they were talking about doing their water

451
00:39:11,766 --> 00:39:13,434
to protect themselves.

452
00:39:13,517 --> 00:39:16,479
Everyone must believe in their heart

453
00:39:16,562 --> 00:39:18,064
that this will happen

454
00:39:18,981 --> 00:39:22,651
not just in his head, or saying the words,

455
00:39:23,694 --> 00:39:27,573
it only takes one person
don't believe in his heart

456
00:39:28,783 --> 00:39:30,493
and it won't work.

457
00:39:30,951 --> 00:39:34,330
But they all seemed to
and the defense was that

458
00:39:34,455 --> 00:39:35,956
she agreed

459
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,626
to participate in this process

460
00:39:39,168 --> 00:39:42,171
and that the participants
sincerely believed

461
00:39:42,254 --> 00:39:45,758
that what they were doing was going to help him.

462
00:39:48,177 --> 00:39:50,137
But it's a family

463
00:39:50,221 --> 00:39:53,599
who deeply respects his elders

464
00:39:54,266 --> 00:39:57,812
and who is Janet to question

465
00:39:57,895 --> 00:40:01,148
that what they do,
They do it for his own good?

466
00:40:01,607 --> 00:40:04,360
They didn't ask, nor did they wonder

467
00:40:04,443 --> 00:40:05,945
if Janet consented.

468
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,747
She could have said:
“No, I don’t want to participate.”

469
00:40:16,831 --> 00:40:18,416
Sometimes she sat outside

470
00:40:18,499 --> 00:40:20,668
to smoke a cigarette with his cousins.

471
00:40:20,751 --> 00:40:22,878
She could have gotten up and left.

472
00:40:32,763 --> 00:40:33,806
She didn't do it.

473
00:40:39,353 --> 00:40:41,188
There were two Janets,

474
00:40:41,272 --> 00:40:46,026
the one who went outside to
take a break and smoke a cigarette,

475
00:40:46,110 --> 00:40:49,989
who was happy to come home
when you had to start again

476
00:40:50,573 --> 00:40:55,619
and there was Janet
who screamed and screamed.

477
00:40:57,288 --> 00:40:58,747
There were two Janets,

478
00:40:58,831 --> 00:41:03,669
so we don't know
who is consenting.

479
00:41:27,318 --> 00:41:29,528
Get out of her!

480
00:41:29,612 --> 00:41:33,032
Leave her alone.
You can't have it!

481
00:42:01,519 --> 00:42:04,855
My name is Viv Bebington

482
00:42:04,939 --> 00:42:07,816
and I live in the house across the street.

483
00:42:08,108 --> 00:42:12,488
I heard everything, the songs
and the sounds of feet,

484
00:42:12,571 --> 00:42:16,909
boom, so far, see?

485
00:42:17,618 --> 00:42:19,620
It was deafening here.

486
00:42:21,288 --> 00:42:23,958
There were so many people,
it was intimidating,

487
00:42:24,458 --> 00:42:26,252
it was suffocating,

488
00:42:27,628 --> 00:42:29,922
but some could not return.

489
00:42:30,005 --> 00:42:32,591
We don't want
you approach this house.

490
00:42:35,886 --> 00:42:39,765
One of the paternal relatives
Janet suggested:

491
00:42:39,848 --> 00:42:41,809
“Let’s go see another tohunga.”

492
00:42:44,395 --> 00:42:48,649
The Rawiri family did not want to do that.

493
00:42:51,318 --> 00:42:53,028
Some were not allowed to enter

494
00:42:53,112 --> 00:42:54,822
where Janet was.

495
00:42:55,531 --> 00:42:56,865
Some were not allowed to enter

496
00:42:56,949 --> 00:43:01,287
I mean, pastors
and all this, why?

497
00:43:02,580 --> 00:43:04,456
These people could have helped.

498
00:43:06,917 --> 00:43:09,461
When John arrived he said:

499
00:43:09,545 --> 00:43:11,880
"I'll keep you company
to my daughter," he came,

500
00:43:11,964 --> 00:43:13,882
they didn't want to let him in,

501
00:43:14,258 --> 00:43:17,595
it's really sad because
John could have helped.

502
00:43:18,304 --> 00:43:22,224
I'm sure John could have helped him.

503
00:43:24,018 --> 00:43:26,812
I am not a pastor,
but I usually do this,

504
00:43:26,895 --> 00:43:30,983
I take care of people when they are
sick, that's why I went there,

505
00:43:31,150 --> 00:43:32,359
but for the most part

506
00:43:32,443 --> 00:43:34,403
they were certain
of what was happening.

507
00:43:35,279 --> 00:43:39,533
Many people
want to know more about their...

508
00:43:40,326 --> 00:43:42,828
...culture?

509
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,666
They want to know more
on their culture.

510
00:43:49,001 --> 00:43:50,836
But they don't know the language

511
00:43:50,919 --> 00:43:52,421
and they don't know the protocol

512
00:43:52,504 --> 00:43:56,008
and they believe they can do this,
they do it...

513
00:43:57,468 --> 00:43:59,011
if you don't know well,
you are doing it wrong,

514
00:43:59,094 --> 00:44:01,805
and, that's what happened.

515
00:44:10,648 --> 00:44:13,692
Wednesday evening, things
began to intensify

516
00:44:13,776 --> 00:44:15,569
in the apartment.

517
00:44:18,364 --> 00:44:20,032
There are conflicting testimonies

518
00:44:20,115 --> 00:44:23,869
on why Janet
wanted to be in the shower.

519
00:44:24,370 --> 00:44:25,954
One of the theories is that

520
00:44:26,038 --> 00:44:30,668
as she often showered
his grandmother, the one who died,

521
00:44:30,751 --> 00:44:34,171
she wanted to go back and recreate

522
00:44:34,254 --> 00:44:36,715
this nostalgic experience.

523
00:44:40,803 --> 00:44:42,638
When Janet got up

524
00:44:43,722 --> 00:44:45,265
she went in the shower...

525
00:44:46,975 --> 00:44:49,520
and she turned it on, on hot, see,

526
00:44:52,106 --> 00:44:53,857
and I put it back on cold.

527
00:45:01,573 --> 00:45:05,744
They said it was, like,
our weapon

528
00:45:06,620 --> 00:45:08,122
against the demon.

529
00:45:10,749 --> 00:45:13,168
Cold water.

530
00:45:14,420 --> 00:45:15,546
Leave the water cold.

531
00:45:15,629 --> 00:45:17,506
Leave the water cold, girl.

532
00:45:17,589 --> 00:45:20,175
We love you, my daughter, everything is fine.

533
00:45:20,259 --> 00:45:22,136
Come, we love you, my daughter.

534
00:45:25,889 --> 00:45:27,850
We could see the darkness rising in his eyes,

535
00:45:27,933 --> 00:45:29,184
and they...

536
00:45:31,228 --> 00:45:32,771
they were getting very big.

537
00:45:34,773 --> 00:45:37,192
Don't resist, don't struggle,
we love you,

538
00:45:37,276 --> 00:45:38,694
stay under cold water, that's it.

539
00:45:38,777 --> 00:45:39,945
But who said that

540
00:45:40,028 --> 00:45:41,697
demons didn't like cold water?

541
00:45:46,326 --> 00:45:47,744
She got up...

542
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:51,707
coughed up all that mucus.

543
00:45:59,339 --> 00:46:01,758
We wiped it with a towel

544
00:46:02,217 --> 00:46:04,803
and it was decided that the makutu
was on the napkin

545
00:46:04,887 --> 00:46:07,431
and no one else
couldn't use this bathroom

546
00:46:08,182 --> 00:46:11,101
where there was the shower and the toilet.

547
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,107
The vomit came out so the demon came out.

548
00:46:18,108 --> 00:46:19,359
The purpose of water

549
00:46:19,443 --> 00:46:23,197
went from instrument
purification of the body

550
00:46:23,822 --> 00:46:29,703
to the instrument that caused the vomiting
and everything got worse.

551
00:46:46,553 --> 00:46:50,224
Janet!

552
00:46:53,644 --> 00:46:57,731
Where is...

553
00:47:18,210 --> 00:47:20,045
Shane was there.

554
00:47:21,463 --> 00:47:23,048
Did Janet want to see him?

555
00:47:24,049 --> 00:47:25,759
Nobody asked him.

556
00:47:27,970 --> 00:47:30,264
She could no longer take
decision by herself.

557
00:47:32,808 --> 00:47:33,809
Come on.

558
00:47:39,898 --> 00:47:40,983
Janet.

559
00:47:43,193 --> 00:47:44,278
Jan !

560
00:47:45,571 --> 00:47:46,613
Janet!

561
00:47:46,697 --> 00:47:47,739
Come on, come on.

562
00:47:49,074 --> 00:47:50,784
He was part of the problem.

563
00:47:51,410 --> 00:47:52,619
Janet!

564
00:47:56,248 --> 00:47:58,625
This is what we did as a family,

565
00:47:58,959 --> 00:48:02,504
we kept him away from her,
for her to heal.

566
00:48:04,089 --> 00:48:05,382
She doesn't want to see you.

567
00:48:05,465 --> 00:48:07,301
We take care of your shit!

568
00:48:07,426 --> 00:48:08,719
- It's your fault!
- My fault?

569
00:48:08,844 --> 00:48:10,596
You brought this. You are at the origin.

570
00:48:11,597 --> 00:48:13,223
You don't need to be there!

571
00:48:18,395 --> 00:48:20,689
A downward spiral has begun

572
00:48:20,772 --> 00:48:25,402
the family no longer had
contact with the outside world.

573
00:48:26,486 --> 00:48:28,989
It was closed and...

574
00:48:30,407 --> 00:48:32,534
insular and suffocating.

575
00:48:40,751 --> 00:48:41,918
Look at his eyes...

576
00:48:44,254 --> 00:48:45,422
Look at his eyes.

577
00:48:47,549 --> 00:48:48,592
Janet?

578
00:48:59,353 --> 00:49:00,479
...Go on.

579
00:49:01,146 --> 00:49:03,398
Lie down, come on, girl.

580
00:49:03,482 --> 00:49:04,983
I will never understand

581
00:49:05,067 --> 00:49:07,069
who was down there at that time.

582
00:49:07,152 --> 00:49:09,613
Come, my daughter, come.

583
00:49:13,075 --> 00:49:15,494
Leave in peace and with love.

584
00:49:26,922 --> 00:49:30,759
Imagine the pressure, the fear, the anxiety,

585
00:49:30,842 --> 00:49:32,761
the panic that spreads

586
00:49:32,844 --> 00:49:34,680
to your, actually, you know,

587
00:49:34,763 --> 00:49:36,306
your love for this person

588
00:49:37,015 --> 00:49:38,975
for her to stay and endure this.

589
00:49:39,851 --> 00:49:41,770
Go in peace with love.

590
00:49:41,895 --> 00:49:44,398
THURSDAY

591
00:49:51,863 --> 00:49:54,366
These people were no longer sleeping

592
00:49:54,449 --> 00:49:58,036
some had not slept
for four or five days.

593
00:50:03,083 --> 00:50:04,876
They continued on their journey.

594
00:50:05,711 --> 00:50:06,962
All of us here

595
00:50:08,004 --> 00:50:11,717
We were used to the calm of this place,

596
00:50:12,551 --> 00:50:13,927
not to all this noise.

597
00:50:16,221 --> 00:50:18,056
But what to do?

598
00:50:19,474 --> 00:50:23,061
Nobody called the police,
we draw the curtains, you see...

599
00:50:23,645 --> 00:50:25,480
I've seen enough, that's enough.

600
00:50:34,865 --> 00:50:37,743
I said we should get together again,
as a family.

601
00:50:38,201 --> 00:50:40,871
Some of us
hadn't seen their children since...

602
00:50:42,122 --> 00:50:43,623
two or three days.

603
00:50:47,085 --> 00:50:49,212
A dozen of our babies.

604
00:50:55,761 --> 00:50:57,179
Janet's mother and I...

605
00:50:58,513 --> 00:51:00,432
we tried to put them at ease.

606
00:51:25,791 --> 00:51:27,918
She always wanted
go in the shower.

607
00:51:28,126 --> 00:51:31,254
Something said demons
wanted hot water.

608
00:51:33,465 --> 00:51:35,175
She didn't like cold water.

609
00:51:35,258 --> 00:51:37,302
Drink, my daughter, come on.

610
00:51:37,385 --> 00:51:38,804
You won't let it happen.

611
00:51:47,813 --> 00:51:49,231
Vomit, girl.

612
00:51:49,314 --> 00:51:51,107
We stayed there with her forever...

613
00:51:54,277 --> 00:51:55,737
It seemed like hours.

614
00:52:00,826 --> 00:52:02,619
The power was so strong...

615
00:52:04,996 --> 00:52:06,414
and we fought him.

616
00:52:13,171 --> 00:52:15,257
The father was there too.

617
00:53:00,093 --> 00:53:01,344
You have to get out.

618
00:53:04,890 --> 00:53:06,141
Do you know who I am?

619
00:53:12,105 --> 00:53:14,357
I was so exhausted
when I got out of there.

620
00:53:19,696 --> 00:53:23,116
It seemed to last forever, yes.

621
00:53:27,037 --> 00:53:29,581
But suddenly she came back...

622
00:53:32,125 --> 00:53:33,251
wise as a picture.

623
00:53:34,711 --> 00:53:36,212
The Janet of always.

624
00:53:38,381 --> 00:53:39,424
Wise as a picture.

625
00:53:43,595 --> 00:53:45,347
You have to come home with me.

626
00:53:48,725 --> 00:53:51,561
Many times, Gerald Moses
asked Janet

627
00:53:51,645 --> 00:53:53,146
to go with him.

628
00:54:04,240 --> 00:54:07,661
He vowed to return the next morning

629
00:54:07,744 --> 00:54:09,746
to take his daughter

630
00:54:10,747 --> 00:54:14,084
it doesn't matter whether she likes it or not.

631
00:54:22,133 --> 00:54:23,760
When things calmed down,

632
00:54:24,219 --> 00:54:26,262
we put our baby back to bed.

633
00:54:29,307 --> 00:54:31,267
And we tried to calm him down

634
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:34,562
even if we knew
that she was not well.

635
00:54:36,690 --> 00:54:38,650
Everyone was crying,

636
00:54:39,776 --> 00:54:42,696
we were so relieved
that she has calmed down.

637
00:54:44,864 --> 00:54:46,533
We let her rest.

638
00:54:48,076 --> 00:54:50,328
We had the impression
that she was coming back to herself.

639
00:54:53,790 --> 00:54:55,959
We were sitting around
waiting for her to wake up.

640
00:55:02,048 --> 00:55:03,550
She woke up,

641
00:55:04,926 --> 00:55:06,636
walked,

642
00:55:07,929 --> 00:55:09,180
and went back to sleep.

643
00:55:14,185 --> 00:55:16,271
But that has changed again.

644
00:55:20,650 --> 00:55:21,735
I went to sleep...

645
00:55:24,946 --> 00:55:27,282
and when I woke up,
it was a disaster.

646
00:55:38,543 --> 00:55:40,795
Janet, are you okay?

647
00:55:40,879 --> 00:55:45,008
They are coming, they are coming!

648
00:55:48,011 --> 00:55:49,471
John!

649
00:55:56,311 --> 00:55:57,854
It was there that

650
00:55:57,937 --> 00:56:00,732
Janet has had a radical change.

651
00:56:00,815 --> 00:56:04,736
She said she wanted to give her life
for the family

652
00:56:04,819 --> 00:56:07,572
sacrifice oneself during

653
00:56:08,281 --> 00:56:09,908
this immanent battle.

654
00:56:09,991 --> 00:56:11,618
They are coming, they are coming!

655
00:56:21,044 --> 00:56:24,380
What happened?

656
00:56:28,426 --> 00:56:30,512
They are coming, they are coming!

657
00:56:53,618 --> 00:56:55,036
Leave us alone!

658
00:57:08,341 --> 00:57:11,928
She had a necklace,
a bone sculpture,

659
00:57:12,512 --> 00:57:15,098
that she had from her grandmother.

660
00:57:18,601 --> 00:57:22,397
They said... that the demon

661
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:25,275
took his strength from this bone necklace.

662
00:57:27,944 --> 00:57:29,988
Johnny, take the scissors.

663
00:57:37,162 --> 00:57:41,082
OK... No, just come on for a moment,

664
00:57:41,166 --> 00:57:43,418
you'd feel better, come on.

665
00:57:43,501 --> 00:57:44,711
Come on.

666
00:57:45,670 --> 00:57:49,090
Come on, you'll feel better, come on.

667
00:57:50,550 --> 00:57:51,759
That's it.

668
00:57:51,843 --> 00:57:53,344
Lie down, come on.

669
00:57:53,970 --> 00:57:55,263
Go get some water.

670
00:58:02,770 --> 00:58:06,399
Come on, Janet, drink some water.

671
00:58:09,694 --> 00:58:11,738
Come on, come on.

672
00:58:11,821 --> 00:58:13,656
Come on, it's good for you, okay?

673
00:58:14,991 --> 00:58:16,868
It'll clean you up, come on.

674
00:58:16,951 --> 00:58:18,369
- Another one.
- Another one.

675
00:58:21,748 --> 00:58:26,377
Go in peace with love.

676
00:58:45,897 --> 00:58:48,233
Give me some water.

677
00:58:49,734 --> 00:58:50,610
More water.

678
00:58:59,244 --> 00:59:03,248
The children could not
go to the toilet,

679
00:59:03,998 --> 00:59:07,835
in fact, no one could
go to the toilet.

680
00:59:08,169 --> 00:59:11,339
When people needed

681
00:59:11,422 --> 00:59:16,678
they did it...
in diapers, towels,

682
00:59:16,761 --> 00:59:19,973
and in the clothes they wore...

683
00:59:20,765 --> 00:59:23,393
so it became more and more...

684
00:59:24,727 --> 00:59:26,229
strange behavior.

685
00:59:31,568 --> 00:59:33,987
Go in peace with love.

686
01:00:02,599 --> 01:00:05,268
Come on, Jan, come on, baby, come on.

687
01:00:12,275 --> 01:00:15,445
We love you, we're going to make it come out of you.

688
01:00:15,528 --> 01:00:19,824
Come on, my girl, it's good,
a little more.

689
01:00:22,660 --> 01:00:25,622
Leave in peace and love,
get out of her now!

690
01:00:35,256 --> 01:00:37,925
At first it was Janet
who fought against him.

691
01:00:38,259 --> 01:00:41,387
It was the demon in her...

692
01:00:43,723 --> 01:00:49,103
and... the demon was fiery and everything.

693
01:00:50,605 --> 01:00:53,232
I remember her saying...

694
01:00:54,651 --> 01:00:55,943
like...

695
01:00:57,528 --> 01:00:58,529
“Piss off.”

696
01:01:18,007 --> 01:01:19,801
We thought it was Shane

697
01:01:19,884 --> 01:01:21,219
who did this to our niece.

698
01:01:21,302 --> 01:01:23,429
He said, “No, it was the lion.”

699
01:01:24,681 --> 01:01:27,558
It was their revenge,
for separating them.

700
01:01:30,770 --> 01:01:35,066
This room was extremely hot,
a furnace.

701
01:01:36,275 --> 01:01:39,487
By then, everything was soaked.

702
01:01:40,113 --> 01:01:43,825
Go in peace with love.

703
01:01:47,954 --> 01:01:49,789
The water was rising in the kitchen

704
01:01:50,790 --> 01:01:53,000
so I took a screwdriver
and I made a hole in the floor.

705
01:02:22,739 --> 01:02:25,366
The eyes of our children
were getting weird...

706
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:28,244
evil,

707
01:02:29,454 --> 01:02:32,874
and we could see these things
which ran within them.

708
01:02:35,084 --> 01:02:36,544
You have something in your eye

709
01:02:36,627 --> 01:02:38,296
and he runs everywhere.

710
01:02:38,379 --> 01:02:39,839
How to get it out?

711
01:02:40,465 --> 01:02:43,593
Without putting your hand in and tearing it out?

712
01:02:47,513 --> 01:02:50,892
Some thought

713
01:02:50,975 --> 01:02:53,019
that we had to take
Janet at the hospital

714
01:02:53,603 --> 01:02:55,855
but it wasn't the leaders.

715
01:02:57,857 --> 01:02:59,484
The idea of saying:

716
01:02:59,567 --> 01:03:01,736
“Stop, maybe it’s not right,”

717
01:03:01,819 --> 01:03:03,488
they couldn't say it

718
01:03:03,821 --> 01:03:07,158
because if they did, maybe

719
01:03:07,241 --> 01:03:08,534
that they would suffer the same fate

720
01:03:08,618 --> 01:03:11,245
and they could end
in Janet's position.

721
01:03:13,206 --> 01:03:16,125
It's the power of the group
in what was happening.

722
01:03:17,835 --> 01:03:21,255
I think there was something wrong
in each of us.

723
01:03:23,007 --> 01:03:24,926
Because we did things
that we wouldn't normally do.

724
01:03:28,971 --> 01:03:30,264
And then they made a rule:

725
01:03:30,348 --> 01:03:32,725
you shouldn't have looked
in Janet's eyes

726
01:03:32,809 --> 01:03:35,478
so as not to be possessed in our turn.

727
01:03:40,650 --> 01:03:41,943
Was Janet talking?

728
01:03:42,443 --> 01:03:44,028
Did she say something?

729
01:03:46,030 --> 01:03:48,699
At one point...

730
01:03:50,117 --> 01:03:51,828
Janet said:

731
01:03:53,329 --> 01:03:56,207
“Auntie, stop, let me breathe.”

732
01:04:01,212 --> 01:04:03,005
And then what happened?

733
01:04:07,009 --> 01:04:09,178
They were taking care of Joshi...

734
01:04:11,180 --> 01:04:15,226
tried to make him spit
all the disgusting things in him

735
01:04:16,686 --> 01:04:23,276
then I remember, they did it to Les,

736
01:04:24,902 --> 01:04:26,863
and then I remember...

737
01:04:27,738 --> 01:04:31,033
they... they did it to me.

738
01:04:37,957 --> 01:04:44,714
I don't think they were trying
to harm us.

739
01:04:45,923 --> 01:04:49,677
And... they had their reasons.

740
01:04:53,848 --> 01:04:56,893
Let me go! It hurts, get out!

741
01:05:06,068 --> 01:05:10,239
They continued with the young teenager
for hours.

742
01:05:14,827 --> 01:05:18,581
She finally managed to free herself
at the same time

743
01:05:18,664 --> 01:05:22,168
where Janet also succeeded,

744
01:05:22,251 --> 01:05:26,047
while six people held it down,

745
01:05:26,130 --> 01:05:27,298
to free yourself.

746
01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:38,351
However, the group
interpreted this as

747
01:05:38,434 --> 01:05:42,605
the makutu which redoubled its strength

748
01:05:42,688 --> 01:05:45,858
by uniting the teenager with Janet

749
01:05:45,942 --> 01:05:51,113
so these young women
who were able to free themselves

750
01:05:51,197 --> 01:05:52,907
we were detained.

751
01:06:15,471 --> 01:06:18,307
She became
the second lion of Greytown...

752
01:06:19,767 --> 01:06:23,604
and it was her and Janet...
working together.

753
01:06:28,401 --> 01:06:32,196
They were... sensible people,

754
01:06:32,697 --> 01:06:38,995
they worked, played sports
and led a quiet life.

755
01:06:42,540 --> 01:06:44,500
Everyone got caught up in this.

756
01:06:47,044 --> 01:06:50,047
Hysteria is not
an unusual state.

757
01:06:50,965 --> 01:06:54,260
Most of us,
we already felt hysterical

758
01:06:55,052 --> 01:06:57,972
and world history
gives many examples

759
01:06:58,055 --> 01:07:00,975
where extreme things are done

760
01:07:01,058 --> 01:07:03,769
based on certain beliefs

761
01:07:03,853 --> 01:07:06,313
which would not make sense
for many of us.

762
01:07:09,859 --> 01:07:11,277
I believe what happened

763
01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:13,946
would have happened to anyone

764
01:07:14,030 --> 01:07:18,034
if we had been stuck
in a room for five days

765
01:07:18,117 --> 01:07:24,040
without sleeping, barely eating,
singing all the time,

766
01:07:24,123 --> 01:07:28,711
in 40 degree heat, trampling,
and feeling intense fear.

767
01:07:28,794 --> 01:07:31,964
I think we all would have
lost the north in this situation.

768
01:07:33,340 --> 01:07:35,885
It's... the human condition.

769
01:07:39,138 --> 01:07:41,515
I know that most people
will not understand.

770
01:07:46,812 --> 01:07:48,564
Makutu is evil.

771
01:07:51,776 --> 01:07:54,653
We have to find a way
to restore the property...

772
01:07:56,238 --> 01:07:58,324
so that the person becomes normal again.

773
01:08:03,162 --> 01:08:04,121
I wish I had someone

774
01:08:04,205 --> 01:08:06,791
who could say that
to the police because...

775
01:08:09,043 --> 01:08:11,212
I find it very hard
to do it myself.

776
01:08:13,923 --> 01:08:16,759
FRIDAY

777
01:08:28,938 --> 01:08:31,190
The mechanism of death by drowning

778
01:08:31,273 --> 01:08:37,238
whether on land or at sea
is the same.

779
01:08:37,321 --> 01:08:39,406
Water enters the lungs,

780
01:08:39,782 --> 01:08:45,788
the membrane of the lungs foams

781
01:08:45,871 --> 01:08:48,666
and produces a kind of foam

782
01:08:49,041 --> 01:08:51,460
which is absorbed by the lungs

783
01:08:51,544 --> 01:08:54,171
which collapse like a bag of air.

784
01:08:54,255 --> 01:08:56,257
This compromises

785
01:08:56,340 --> 01:08:58,676
the circulation of oxygen in the body.

786
01:08:59,844 --> 01:09:01,804
The vocal cords go into spasm...

787
01:09:03,139 --> 01:09:05,182
the heart takes an abnormal rhythm...

788
01:09:06,350 --> 01:09:07,810
she swallows her tongue.

789
01:09:10,729 --> 01:09:15,234
At one point his jaw locks

790
01:09:15,818 --> 01:09:18,237
and instead of thinking:

791
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:20,197
&quot;We may have gone too far,&quot;

792
01:09:20,739 --> 01:09:23,242
participants thought that...

793
01:09:24,368 --> 01:09:27,746
his jaw had been blocked
by the makutu

794
01:09:27,830 --> 01:09:31,834
to prevent them from pouring more water.

795
01:09:33,502 --> 01:09:37,131
So they opened it to him
the jaw of strength...

796
01:09:38,174 --> 01:09:39,967
and she...

797
01:09:41,468 --> 01:09:42,553
she is dead.

798
01:09:47,683 --> 01:09:49,935
When did you realize that Janet

799
01:09:50,019 --> 01:09:53,063
was dying?

800
01:09:59,904 --> 01:10:00,946
I didn't see anything.

801
01:10:02,740 --> 01:10:05,201
When did you know she was dead?

802
01:10:08,204 --> 01:10:09,330
I still didn't see him.

803
01:10:18,047 --> 01:10:20,633
We were trying to help the other girl.

804
01:10:24,094 --> 01:10:25,971
The whole place was filled with evil.

805
01:10:32,311 --> 01:10:33,812
I tried to do cardiac massage.

806
01:10:38,484 --> 01:10:40,611
But I don't know how to do that.

807
01:10:44,990 --> 01:10:46,575
I turned to my wife...

808
01:10:49,453 --> 01:10:50,996
“I love you, my darling.”

809
01:10:53,707 --> 01:10:56,252
Because I believed
that I was going to spend there too.

810
01:10:58,712 --> 01:10:59,755
Yes.

811
01:11:01,131 --> 01:11:03,842
Because I had been a leader
for the family...

812
01:11:08,264 --> 01:11:10,349
and I believed
that they were going to take me too.

813
01:11:22,611 --> 01:11:24,488
Jan was on the ground...

814
01:11:26,282 --> 01:11:28,826
all my brothers and sisters
were around...

815
01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:32,871
trying to bring her back to life.

816
01:11:58,480 --> 01:12:01,483
We were trying to understand
if he was still in the house.

817
01:12:04,278 --> 01:12:05,738
All the children...

818
01:12:08,365 --> 01:12:10,242
This makutu was in the house.

819
01:12:15,247 --> 01:12:17,750
As soon as they understood
that Janet was dead,

820
01:12:18,459 --> 01:12:22,546
they redoubled their efforts
on the teenager.

821
01:12:24,465 --> 01:12:27,134
Get out of there, you won't get it.

822
01:12:27,217 --> 01:12:32,264
You're going to leave, leave her
calm down, go away.

823
01:12:32,556 --> 01:12:34,391
They had just lost a daughter,
you see...

824
01:12:34,475 --> 01:12:37,644
- we couldn't lose the other one.
- You're going to leave her!

825
01:12:37,728 --> 01:12:42,066
It lasted for hours
after Janet's death.

826
01:12:44,818 --> 01:12:47,071
Get out, get out!

827
01:12:49,865 --> 01:12:51,867
Come on, girl.

828
01:12:53,160 --> 01:12:55,162
I was scared.

829
01:12:59,416 --> 01:13:02,211
I said, "You're scaring me..."

830
01:13:03,420 --> 01:13:06,131
and she said:

831
01:13:06,715 --> 01:13:08,801
“You scare me.”

832
01:13:10,010 --> 01:13:15,224
They were trying to hold my arms

833
01:13:15,307 --> 01:13:18,477
because I was scratching

834
01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:21,772
I threw punches
and feet.

835
01:13:23,774 --> 01:13:26,318
Why were you doing that?

836
01:13:27,486 --> 01:13:30,280
I think it was
because of the demon in me.

837
01:13:31,740 --> 01:13:33,700
I lost my mind.

838
01:13:35,994 --> 01:13:37,788
Did you say something?

839
01:13:40,582 --> 01:13:42,876
I don't remember exactly...

840
01:13:44,253 --> 01:13:46,880
but I said something like...

841
01:13:49,299 --> 01:13:51,301
&quot;Stop, damn it, you're drowning me,&quot;

842
01:13:52,136 --> 01:13:53,846
something like that.

843
01:13:55,681 --> 01:13:57,015
"I'm going to die."

844
01:14:00,102 --> 01:14:03,105
And then... nothing more,

845
01:14:04,857 --> 01:14:06,608
there was nothing left,

846
01:14:06,692 --> 01:14:09,945
I think they almost lost me there...

847
01:14:10,863 --> 01:14:12,364
when I no longer felt anything.

848
01:14:17,494 --> 01:14:21,248
I don't know, actually,

849
01:14:21,331 --> 01:14:23,250
what the demon looks like.

850
01:14:25,169 --> 01:14:28,130
I don't know what they were looking for,

851
01:14:28,213 --> 01:14:30,132
what they saw and everything.

852
01:14:42,519 --> 01:14:45,314
Around noon, or late morning...

853
01:14:46,440 --> 01:14:48,525
...one of the local Kaumatua Maori

854
01:14:48,609 --> 01:14:51,737
was called and came to the apartment.

855
01:15:01,246 --> 01:15:05,000
A man called Pakika Dave

856
01:15:05,083 --> 01:15:08,003
a European,

857
01:15:08,086 --> 01:15:12,090
who is a spiritual medium

858
01:15:12,174 --> 01:15:14,968
a man they respected
spirituality.

859
01:15:15,886 --> 01:15:20,474
He said he felt
something evil

860
01:15:20,557 --> 01:15:25,646
and that he had received a spiritual message

861
01:15:25,729 --> 01:15:29,733
which seemed to come from
of the deceased grandmother.

862
01:15:30,817 --> 01:15:32,069
He left.

863
01:15:51,338 --> 01:15:54,383
We love our family so much,
you see...

864
01:15:57,803 --> 01:16:00,889
that we would never do that
to our children.

865
01:16:08,397 --> 01:16:11,316
Tohunga says mom
is very angry...

866
01:16:14,528 --> 01:16:17,239
because we locked up the children
in there for...

867
01:16:18,949 --> 01:16:20,909
I don't even know
how long it lasted.

868
01:16:52,649 --> 01:16:55,611
After the blessing,
everyone who was there,

869
01:16:55,694 --> 01:16:57,154
including Janet...

870
01:16:58,280 --> 01:17:00,032
he advised that the other member

871
01:17:00,115 --> 01:17:02,284
of the family
should be taken to hospital.

872
01:17:16,923 --> 01:17:18,300
It was a desperate call

873
01:17:18,383 --> 01:17:21,303
from a 14 year old girl:
&quot;Stop, you're drowning me,&quot;

874
01:17:21,386 --> 01:17:22,929
while parents paid him
water in the throat

875
01:17:23,013 --> 01:17:24,389
for an exorcism.

876
01:17:24,473 --> 01:17:26,266
...Janet Moses

877
01:17:26,350 --> 01:17:28,352
...Janet Moses

878
01:17:30,312 --> 01:17:31,688
Janet Moses died during a...

879
01:17:31,772 --> 01:17:32,939
Kill a young mother.

880
01:17:33,023 --> 01:17:34,900
- Kill Janet Moses.
- During an exorcism.

881
01:17:34,983 --> 01:17:36,652
- Exorcism.
- An exorcism ceremony.

882
01:17:36,735 --> 01:17:38,236
This was a very controversial affair.

883
01:17:38,320 --> 01:17:40,572
Torture and death
are simply not acceptable.

884
01:17:40,656 --> 01:17:41,782
I've seen dozens...

885
01:17:41,865 --> 01:17:43,617
- It's just rubbish.
- It's voodoo.

886
01:17:46,536 --> 01:17:47,996
- ...judge by appearances.
- Witchcraft.

887
01:17:48,080 --> 01:17:49,665
- The media draws...
- Desperate family members

888
01:17:49,748 --> 01:17:51,625
hide the faces of the accused.

889
01:17:51,708 --> 01:17:53,627
Don't take fucking pictures of me.

890
01:17:53,710 --> 01:17:56,004
We've had enough tragedy. OK?

891
01:17:59,091 --> 01:18:02,052
Janet was a young mother
who lost his life.

892
01:18:02,135 --> 01:18:05,806
It is absolutely crucial
that we understand

893
01:18:05,889 --> 01:18:07,057
how did this happen

894
01:18:07,140 --> 01:18:09,393
and hold people accountable

895
01:18:09,476 --> 01:18:10,977
of what happened.

896
01:18:11,603 --> 01:18:16,024
SUPREME COURT

897
01:18:20,862 --> 01:18:24,282
What should the authorities do?

898
01:18:24,366 --> 01:18:29,746
when a human being
is killed in these circumstances?

899
01:18:32,374 --> 01:18:34,543
There are two charges, homicide,

900
01:18:34,668 --> 01:18:38,130
and an accusation
of cruelty to a child.

901
01:18:39,423 --> 01:18:41,967
Nothing suggests

902
01:18:42,050 --> 01:18:45,470
that the accused persons, or that Janet

903
01:18:45,554 --> 01:18:47,264
have taken drugs.

904
01:18:49,975 --> 01:18:51,727
The weird thing about this

905
01:18:51,810 --> 01:18:56,940
is that deep beliefs
Maori spiritual practices were handled

906
01:18:57,023 --> 01:18:59,901
by some sort of system...

907
01:19:01,737 --> 01:19:04,489
of white colonialism, if you will.

908
01:19:05,741 --> 01:19:11,163
The court tried to be sensitive...

909
01:19:11,580 --> 01:19:13,457
but when they described
what had happened

910
01:19:13,540 --> 01:19:19,254
it was like reading a scene
of the Salem witch trials.

911
01:19:21,256 --> 01:19:24,551
The family's belief was based
on erroneous conceptions

912
01:19:24,634 --> 01:19:26,678
and misinformation,

913
01:19:27,012 --> 01:19:30,515
none of the expert witnesses
had never heard of

914
01:19:30,599 --> 01:19:35,228
to pour such a quantity of water

915
01:19:35,312 --> 01:19:37,564
in a suffering person

916
01:19:37,647 --> 01:19:40,233
to deliver her from the makutu

917
01:19:40,317 --> 01:19:43,820
and it appeared that the lion

918
01:19:43,904 --> 01:19:46,990
was part of a pair
garden decoration

919
01:19:47,073 --> 01:19:51,244
that the hotel owner
had bought new.

920
01:19:52,162 --> 01:19:57,334
He poured yogurt on the statues

921
01:19:57,417 --> 01:19:59,336
to make them look older,

922
01:19:59,419 --> 01:20:05,300
but it was in no way
antiques.

923
01:20:10,722 --> 01:20:14,226
As the trial progresses,

924
01:20:14,309 --> 01:20:17,938
their spiritual experiences
the deepest

925
01:20:18,021 --> 01:20:23,318
were described
like false beliefs.

926
01:20:24,110 --> 01:20:27,614
So much so that I could no longer
look at them,

927
01:20:27,697 --> 01:20:29,157
it made me cry.

928
01:20:30,492 --> 01:20:32,244
I believe that all the lawyers involved,

929
01:20:32,327 --> 01:20:36,748
the prosecution and the defense
could see the family dynamic

930
01:20:37,123 --> 01:20:40,252
and we all sympathized with their pain.

931
01:20:43,004 --> 01:20:45,674
Public opinion was divided,

932
01:20:45,757 --> 01:20:50,512
but the jury seemed...compassionate.

933
01:20:53,557 --> 01:20:54,933
Newsflash:

934
01:20:55,016 --> 01:20:57,644
the jury in the trial
of the exorcism of Janet Moses in Wellington

935
01:20:57,727 --> 01:20:59,521
has just delivered its verdict.

936
01:20:59,604 --> 01:21:01,982
-Simon...
- We waited a long time for the jury

937
01:21:02,065 --> 01:21:03,400
come back with this verdict,

938
01:21:03,483 --> 01:21:06,152
many people
wanted to hear this verdict,

939
01:21:06,236 --> 01:21:07,821
here's what happened.

940
01:21:08,029 --> 01:21:12,659
Guilty.

941
01:21:12,742 --> 01:21:15,996
Not guilty, not guilty.

942
01:21:20,333 --> 01:21:21,543
These five accused

943
01:21:21,626 --> 01:21:24,212
are found guilty of homicide
after five weeks of trial

944
01:21:24,296 --> 01:21:26,506
and almost two days of deliberation.

945
01:21:26,590 --> 01:21:28,383
Three other family members
were acquitted

946
01:21:28,466 --> 01:21:30,760
and walked free from the court.

947
01:21:31,928 --> 01:21:34,681
The two heads of families,
John Rawiri and Glenys Wright

948
01:21:34,764 --> 01:21:36,725
are under house arrest,

949
01:21:36,808 --> 01:21:39,436
they live at home and have a curfew.

950
01:21:39,978 --> 01:21:42,939
They and the other accused,
Janet Moses' aunts

951
01:21:43,023 --> 01:21:45,233
must also do
work of general interest,

952
01:21:45,317 --> 01:21:49,654
be monitored and follow programs
of cultural education.

953
01:21:52,407 --> 01:21:53,742
NEW ZEALAND

954
01:21:53,825 --> 01:21:57,662
It was a fair answer
to a tragic death.

955
01:21:58,914 --> 01:22:02,542
With their verdict, the jury holds
responsible family members

956
01:22:02,626 --> 01:22:06,212
who criminally killed Janet.

957
01:22:06,296 --> 01:22:09,966
and it is a recognition
of the sacredness of life.

958
01:22:11,718 --> 01:22:13,386
Convictions for homicide

959
01:22:13,470 --> 01:22:15,513
generally range from four to six years...

960
01:22:16,139 --> 01:22:18,141
but none of the justifications

961
01:22:18,224 --> 01:22:21,478
that usually send people to prison
were not present in this matter.

962
01:22:22,520 --> 01:22:24,564
There was a deterrent value there.

963
01:22:24,648 --> 01:22:28,360
What purpose would punishment serve?

964
01:22:28,944 --> 01:22:30,862
I know a lot of people are cynical

965
01:22:30,946 --> 01:22:32,405
towards our justice system,

966
01:22:32,489 --> 01:22:36,201
but also wrong
let it appear to us,

967
01:22:36,284 --> 01:22:38,787
in the light of day,

968
01:22:39,162 --> 01:22:44,084
they sincerely believed
that they were helping him.

969
01:23:04,229 --> 01:23:06,731
It must have been a week later.

970
01:23:06,815 --> 01:23:09,025
We had a meeting at the ma-lay...

971
01:23:09,693 --> 01:23:13,905
and we all decided to destroy the place,

972
01:23:15,115 --> 01:23:16,282
shave it.

973
01:23:19,744 --> 01:23:23,999
It was sad to see that,
really sad.

974
01:23:25,125 --> 01:23:28,795
Every morning I get up
and I look out my window

975
01:23:29,254 --> 01:23:32,590
and I don't see anything... nothing.

976
01:23:35,427 --> 01:23:39,097
Yes, really... very sad.

977
01:23:47,272 --> 01:23:49,983
Sometimes we can pass
in front of these apartments

978
01:23:50,066 --> 01:23:53,737
and we still see a cloud above.

979
01:23:55,989 --> 01:23:58,033
We don't do these things.

980
01:23:58,116 --> 01:24:01,161
We're not having fun
with old, moldy things.

981
01:24:05,206 --> 01:24:07,333
I heard they still believe

982
01:24:07,417 --> 01:24:11,546
that the curse
continues in their family.

983
01:24:12,380 --> 01:24:15,550
It's understandable that they believe that.

984
01:24:15,633 --> 01:24:19,804
Beliefs are nothing more
that the conclusions

985
01:24:19,888 --> 01:24:23,850
that we learned from our own experiences.

986
01:24:24,601 --> 01:24:27,645
It is always possible that a makutu

987
01:24:27,729 --> 01:24:31,024
actually attacked Janet.

988
01:24:31,107 --> 01:24:33,985
Nobody knows,
maybe they were right.

989
01:24:36,071 --> 01:24:38,281
There's no doubt in my mind,
she was possessed,

990
01:24:38,364 --> 01:24:41,117
whether from the Maori point of view
or from a clinical point of view,

991
01:24:41,201 --> 01:24:42,494
She wasn't doing well...

992
01:24:43,036 --> 01:24:44,329
and the curse

993
01:24:44,412 --> 01:24:47,248
is an attitude
that the family continues to adopt.

994
01:24:49,042 --> 01:24:51,878
What they will transmit
to future generations

995
01:24:51,961 --> 01:24:53,671
is in their hands.

996
01:24:55,673 --> 01:24:57,383
They must face the fact that

997
01:24:57,467 --> 01:25:00,762
although they did
their best for her

998
01:25:00,845 --> 01:25:02,180
in this situation...

999
01:25:02,931 --> 01:25:04,224
she is dead.

1000
01:25:36,673 --> 01:25:38,258
I didn't know Janet,

1001
01:25:38,925 --> 01:25:43,388
I knew Janet... through the investigation

1002
01:25:44,055 --> 01:25:45,807
so we don't know Janet

1003
01:25:45,890 --> 01:25:49,519
that through the eyes of others,
what they tell us,

1004
01:25:50,395 --> 01:25:52,188
but as a mother...

1005
01:25:53,565 --> 01:25:55,525
this really resonated with me.

1006
01:25:56,359 --> 01:25:58,194
We had two young children

1007
01:25:58,695 --> 01:26:02,782
who will no longer have a mother
for the rest of their lives

1008
01:26:03,616 --> 01:26:06,953
and they were so small
that the only memory

1009
01:26:07,036 --> 01:26:08,872
that they will keep from their mother

1010
01:26:08,955 --> 01:26:11,499
is what others will give them.

1011
01:26:15,378 --> 01:26:17,630
She was a wonderful mother...

1012
01:26:18,548 --> 01:26:22,302
That's what I would tell them,
how much she loved them...

1013
01:26:22,886 --> 01:26:25,054
and how close to his heart they were.

1014
01:26:46,284 --> 01:26:52,540
IN MEMORY OF JANET MOSES
