'The Manor': A look inside the 114-year-old Dunedin house where a young student died during a party
There's a long history behind the grand, double-storey home on Dunedin's Dundas St.
Known colloquially as "The Manor", the 114-year-old, five-bedroom flat has been a home to many University of Otago students - and parties - over the years.
On the weekend, a house party attracted hundreds of students who were eager to celebrate one final time before the university took over the property's lease.
But the night ended in tragedy when Sophia Crestani, 19, died after suffering injuries during a mass pile-up of people in house's stairwell. Our thoughts are with Sophia's friends and family following this terrible tragedy.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
