Photo: NZ HeraldA passenger in a speeding vehicle at the time of a crash which killed an Invercargill nurse has been found guilty of manslaughter by inciting and encouraging the driver to operate the vehicle recklessly. He was also found guilty on three counts of inciting and encouraging the driver to operate a vehicle recklessly, thereby causing injury. Edwards had an "active part" in the driving, the Crown said in its closing arguments yesterday. The Invercargill nurse died in 2018 when the car she was in with her husband and two children was T-boned by a Subaru driven by Dejay Rawiri Kane. There was no intentional encouragement of manslaughter, reckless driving or dangerous driving by her client, she said.
