THURSDAY 10 SEPTEMBER 20 NATIONAL NEWS The Gisborne Herald • Thursday, August 27, 2020 Police accused of manslaughter face new charge

by Melissa Nightingale, NZ Herald

NEW PLYMOUTH — Three Hawera police officers who are accused of manslaughter after a “highly intoxicated” man died in the police cells now face a new charge. The officers were originally charged with manslaughter after 55-year-old Allen Ball died in custody, but they now face a second charge of manslaughter for failing to prevent injury. Each officer has interim name suppression. They entered not guilty pleas in the High Court at New Plymouth yesterday morning. When Ball was arrested in the early hours of June 1, 2019, he was “highly intoxicated and, at best, partially unresponsive”, Justice Simon France said in an earlier decision on name suppression. “The allegation is that the officers, in a manner that constitutes gross negligence, did not follow the protocols in place for monitoring persons in the deceased’s condition. As a consequence, the person, Mr Allen Ball, died in the cells. It is alleged that he would not have died had the officers discharged their duty.” NEW ADDITION: A female baby rhino has joined Auckland Zoo’s rare herd — the first newborn of the According to Ball’s family, he was taken into species at the zoo in 20 years.
