People convicted of murder while on bail

By: Newstalk ZB staff | Latest Crime News | Tuesday August 7 2012 10:33

 

At least 23 people have been convicted of murders while on bail in the last six years.

Ministry of Justice figures show another 21 people were convicted of 'homicide-related' offences, committed while on bail.

The figures cover the period between 2006 and 2010.

During that period, almost 70,000 offenders committed new crimes after being released on bail.

A parliamentary select committee is to start hearing submissions on proposed changes to bail laws in the next few days.
