Umbutho wezokhenketho waseCanterbury ucela amalungu alo ukuba axelele iindwendwe ngeendawo eziyingozi kwilinge lokuzigcina zikhuselekile.
Kuhlaselo lwamva nje lweSiqithi saseMzantsi kubakhenkethi, ibhinqa lase-Australia lalwa nendoda eNelson malunga nentsimbi yesibini ngeCawe.
Inkosikazi eneminyaka engama-24 ubudala yaseMelbourne yasinda ingcangcazela kodwa ingenzakalanga emva kokuba ingxaki yayo ibonwe ngumqhubi wemoto owayedlula, owaleqa umhlaseli xa wayebalekela kwisikolo esikufuphi saseAuckland Point.
Umcuphi u-Aaron Kennaway uthe le ndoda ilandele yaza yaqalisa incoko neli bhinqa ngaphambi kokuba lizame ukulirhuqela kwiyadi yesikolo.
Amapolisa akhangela umntu waseYurophu okwiminyaka yakhe engama-40, 182cm ubude, obhityileyo, ongachetywanga kwaye onxibe ijean eblue, umphezulu omnyama onemikhono emifutshane kunye nekepusi yebaseball eorenji nemnyama.
U-Kennaway uthe iinzame zokuxhwila “zineendlela zokwabelana ngesondo” kwaye zinokuphela kakubi. Le ndoda yayixelele lo mfazi igama layo nguPete kwaye wayetyelele uNelson evela eChristchurch.
Olu hlaselo lulandela uhlaselo lwesondo lwangoLwesine odlulileyo kwisibini samaDatshi kwiFive Mountains Holiday Park eTuatapere, kwintshona ye-Invercargill.
Ingqonyela yeNtengiso yaseChristchurch naseCanterbury uChristine Prince uthe abakhenkethi basengozini yokuhlaselwa kuba bengazi bangene kwiindawo eziyingozi.
"Enye yezinto esinokuzixelela abakhenkethi ziiprothokholi ekufuneka zilandelwe kunye nalapho kufuneka balumke ngakumbi."
Uhlaselo lwaluyinkxalabo, kodwa kuhle ukuba bafumane ingqalelo yemithombo yeendaba, utshilo uPrince.
“Kwezinye iindawo zehlabathi, uhlaselo aluzukufumana ngqalelo njengoko lusenzeka ngalo lonke ixesha,” utshilo.
INew Zealand isathathwa njengendawo ekhuselekileyo, kodwa abakhenkethi bangakhuseleka ngakumbi ukuba baxelelwe ngomngcipheko, utshilo.
USejini omkhulu uNicky Sweetman, wamapolisa aseChristchurch, uthe uhlaselo lwabakhenkethi alubalwa ngokwahlukeneyo kumanani ohlaselo.
“Uhlaselo lwabakhenkethi alunyuki kodwa bafumana ingqalelo enkulu kumajelo eendaba,” utshilo uSweetman.
Abanye abakhenkethi abaye baba lixhoba lezaphuli-mthetho zaseSouth Island babandakanya abantu ababini baseMzantsi Korea abaphangwayo eBlenheim ngoDisemba, kunye nabakhenkethi baseIreland bahlaselwa ngo-Epreli kwaye iqela labakhenkethi abasibhozo baseNgesi bahlatywa kwaye babethwa ngamadoda amahlanu eChristchurch, kwakhona ngo-Epreli.
