As stated by Acting Detective Inspector Shaun Vickers, Counties Manukau CIB:
Police acknowledge the sentencing of Ephraim Beazley at the High Court in Auckland in relation to the death of Xi Wang.
Beazley was today sentenced to life imprisonment with minimum period of imprisonment of 17 years after pleading guilty to murder.
This is a tragic reminder of the devastating impact that family harm has on whanau – a young boy has lost his mother and his father will be spending some time in prison.
