A Corrections source told Stuff that the inmate 's complaint included that he was not being allowed any access to visitors or phone calls. "He is being managed in accordance with the provisions set out in the Corrections Act 2004 and our international obligations for the treatment of prisoners," the spokesperson said. The prison source told Stuff that the accused is allowed outside into a concrete exercise yard for one hour a day. Police have charged him with one count of murder but further charges are expected to be added at his next appearance. Another 49 murder charges are likely and it's possible he will also face a raft of attempted murder or wounding-related charges.
