ZIZI SPARKS

Two police officers had to be medically treated after arresting a man who was smashing up a burning suspected meth lab. Constable Haley Wells and senior constable Gary Morgan were called to the fire in the alleged clandestine lab in Milford, in November. Upon arrival they were confronted by an aggressive and uncooperative man who was allegedly destroying evidence, while the fire continued around him, they said. ‘‘When we arrived, he was inside the garage smashing stuff. He was quite badly burned and was hosing himself down,’’ Wells said. When called upon to surren- der, the man ran from Wells and Morgan carrying what was suspected to be a hazardous and toxic substance. The pair chased after the man and arrested him. In doing so, they were exposed to toxins and required medical treatment. Morgan said the the treatment was related to inhaling the toxins, which were irritating to the skin and mouth. However, on receiving bravery awards, he said the pair were only doing their jobs.

TOMMY LIVINGSTON

OPINION: It took Akshay Chand less than four minutes to leave his home and be at Christie Marceau’s doorstep on November 7, 2011. But it’s taken six years to unravel the events that allowed him to make that short walk, which ended with him stabbing the teenager to death on the deck of her Auckland home. For two weeks a parade of psychiatrists, police, court staff and family filed in and out of the witness box at the inquest into Christie’s death, all trying to answer the one question haunting the room. How was a man who had pre- viously kidnapped and threatened to rape a girl bailed to an address within eye-sight of her house? On that November day, he pushed past Christie’s mum Tracey, and chased the teenager out onto her deck. Within seconds Chand dealt six deadly blows to Christie’s upper body. She died in her mother’s arms. Thirty-three days earlier, Chand had been bailed by Judge David McNaughton at the North Shore District Court. Chand had been in custody after he kidnapped and threatened to rape Christie in September that year. Akshay Chand killed 18-year-old Christie Marceau in her home, while on bail just minutes from her home. The inquest began with Cor- oner Katharine Greig giving her ‘‘She died in her Increasingly it was implied the More information, opposition plex and convoluted system condolences to the teen’s parents. blame lay with Judge and time could have been put into which allowed Chand to walk.

BEN CAMPBELL / PHOTOTEK ‘Grenfell’ cladding not a risk THE ORCHARDS STAFF REPORTERS RETIREMENT LIVING Takapuna’s Spencer on Byron has been named as - INDEPENDENT APARTMENTS - -CAREHOME- one of two high-rise buildings in Auckland found to have combustible cladding in the wake of London’s Grenfell Tower blaze. Fixed village fee for life While Auckland Council would not identify which apartments were affected, TVNZ reported they were the Spencer on Byron in Takapuna and the Nautilus in Orewa. But the Spencer on Byron hotel manager said there were no concerns ‘‘whatsoever’’ about fire safety, as the building had a host of fire protection measures, including sprinklers. ‘‘We’re very different to Grenfell Tower,’’ said hotel general manager Greg Remmington. The building had sprinklers inside, as well as outside on the ground floor. It also had smoke detectors in every area and an automated fire warning system linked to the fire department. Remmington said each apartment was fire- rated, stopping a fire spreading from one apartment to another, and the building had two stairwells and six exit points at ground level. Auckland Council had not been in contact with any concerns, he said. The cladding was set to be replaced on the building, due to leaky building issues, with work expected to be done at the start of 2018. RETIRE TO AN ADDRESS The council’s general manager of building control, Ian McCormick, said body corporates would be advised about the combustible cladding ‘‘as soon as practically possible’’. YOUKNOWSOWELL In total, 90 buildings were identified as poten- tially having the cladding and 21 had been investigated so far - with just two confirmed. McCormick said such cladding had been auth- OPEN DAY TUE 4 JULY 10AM TO 3PM orised by fire engineers who had signed off the buildings. “You could have combustible cladding on it as long as the building was sprinklered and had various other fire safety systems on it.” McCormick said enquiries around the pres- ence of aluminium composite panels started after the Lacrosse Apartment fire in Melbourne in November 2014. He defined the cladding as ‘‘an aluminium sandwich’’, a composite material sandwiched between two sheets of aluminium.
