Karl Richard Arc Perigo-Check

Killed by stepfather Rikki Leigh Scott Ngatai-Check. Karl had been assaulted by his mother Lilah Terelyn McGregor who had then gone out with two of her other six children. Karl was sleeping on the couch at Halswell Street in Whanganui when he woke up having wet himself, and tried to rub the wet patch away. Stepfather Rikki was stoned and angry when he picked Karl up by the scruff of his neck and swung him around. Karl hit his side on the edge of a coffee table causing two broken ribs in his back which punctured his lung and caused bleeding in his chest cavity. Rikki then put Karl on the toilet and left him there while he played video games in his bedroom. Karl managed to get himself off the toilet but had stuffed the toilet bowl with paper and was trailing unravelled toilet paper when he left the bathroom. From the bed, Rikki sent Karl flying with a roundhouse style kick to the stomach, injuring his bowel, lacerating his intestine and causing internal bleeding. Rikki then stood up and kicked Karl even harder, ramming him against a wardrobe door which pushed his pancreas against his spine and split it. The division of Karl's splenic artery caused massive internal bleeding. He died at Whanganui Hospital. Rikki lied to the hospital staff which hampered Karl's treatment, and Lilah was charged with perverting the course of justice.
