Invercargill man Christopher Brown buried his head into his chest and cried as he was found guilty of the murder of his cousin, 19-year-old Jack McAllister. The jury in the High Court at Invercargill yesterday afternoon found Brown guilty of murder, and Scheepers guilty of manslaughter. Ruffell, Wilson and the woman with name suppression were all found not guilty of murder or manslaughter. Two other people, including Brayden Whiting-Roff, who the Crown alleged was the principal offender, had already pleaded guilty to murder. It was earlier alleged Mr McAllister was lured to Stadium Southland by the promise of sex from a young woman.
