Teenager threw a rock at a car and charged with murder

July 3, 2006

A 15-year-old teenager, that cannot be named, is in court for murder after throwing an eight kilogram concrete block at a car on Auckland's southern motorway. The rock killed the driver in the Honda Civic car, Christopher Currie.

"[the] accused stood on the over bridge and timed the release of the concrete block to hit a car passing underneath" prosecuter Aaron Perkins told the High Court. The accused was positioned so that the driver was unable to see them and take evasive action. They later ran from the scene of the crime and bragged to friends about it.

The defence says that the accused did not mean to murder anyone.

There were three other passengers in the car which the Crown will call to give evidence as well as 33 other witnesses.
