University of Otago student Sophia Crestani, 19, died during a stairwell pile up at an overcrowded flat party at The Manor in October, 2019. During cross examination, Sophia's father Bede Crestani said it appeared the tenants wanted to protect their gear and the flat, not their guests.

He admitted he appeared to have ignored the multiple noise complaints from previous parties and took no action to avoid them.
