Photo / Otago Daily TimesA man who was staying next to the hotel room where Azalia Wilson's body was found heard people arguing and a "couple of thuds" on the night she was killed. Kereru Moses gave evidence on the sixth day of a jury trial for Samuel Moses Samson in the High Court at Invercargill yesterday. Moses told the court he was living in Dunedin at the time of the incident but travelled to Invercargill to work and often stayed at the hotel. Crown solicitor Mary-Jane Thomas asked whether Moses could identify where the voices and thuds were coming from. She said Samson told her he was scared and did not want to hand himself in before speaking to an officer whom he knew, as he feared police would shoot him.
