Soul Mathew Turany

Soul Mathew Turany, August 30, 2014, Burnham. Emergency services responded to a report of a baby suffering a head injury and breathing difficulties at a dairy farm near Burnham, 30km south of Christchurch, at 6.45am. Soul Mathew Turany was flown to Christchurch Hospital by Westpac Rescue Helicopter in a critical condition. He was taken off life support just after 3am the following day. Soul entered the world by elective c-section weighing 4.3 kilograms on May 9, 2014. He had light brown hair and was perfect, Neligan said. "A little fat man – I was rapt." Soul's mother, Storme Turany, moved from Australia to New Zealand in 2013 and took up a job at the Coaltrack Rd farm. She fell pregnant with Soul while she was in a casual relationship with Neligan, who was working at the property at the time. It was a wake-up call for Neligan, who never thought he would be a father. Neligan took up a new job as herd manager on a dairy farm in North Canterbury several months before Soul was born. By then, he and Storme were no longer seeing each other. After Soul's birth, Storme moved in with her sister for support. She eventually moved back to the Coaltrack Rd property. Neligan has watched as police around the country have investigated the deaths of many children since Soul was killed. In many cases, people have been arrested and charged, but nearly two years on, he is still waiting for answers, and fears he may never get any. Soul's cremated ashes are in an urn next to Neligan's bed, and photos of the infant line the walls of his bedroom. Police have a small list of suspects, including a man in his 20s, who have been spoken to several times by detectives. Neligan, who has moved home to the Wairarapa, was not present at the Coaltrack Rd farm when Soul suffered the fatal injuries. Storme has declined to comment since Soul's death.
