Summary: Two Attacked Man Outside Bay Toilets (Press, 8 January 1988)
In Auckland, two men, David Mark Everett, 17, and Dean Lee Marvin, 19, have been convicted of assaulting a 68-year-old man outside the Okahu Bay toilets on December 3, 1987. The District Court heard that the attackers assumed the man was homosexual and attacked him with batons, causing significant injuries. Everett expressed his disdain for homosexuals, claiming he had been pestered by them in the past. The assault occurred around 11.30 p.m. when the complainant was approached by the two men, who believed he was seeking sexual contact. They struck him multiple times with batons, targeting his body, arms, and legs. In an attempt to defend himself, the victim offered his watch and wallet, which were subsequently discarded into the sea by the assailants. As a result of the brutal attack, the victim sustained broken and chipped bones in his right arm, a cut on his cheek, broken ribs, and severe bruising. He required hospital treatment for his injuries. Judge Bradford has remanded Everett and Marvin in custody until January 14, 1988, pending pre-sentence reports and sentencing.
