Kawariki Emery and Hayze Watene-Kumeroa were sentenced for a violent attack on a 19-year-old victim at a party in Hamilton, New Zealand, which escalated to around 250 attendees. During the incident on October 31, 2022, Emery attacked the victim with a machete, striking his leg three times, while Watene-Kumeroa stomped on the victim's head and chest. The assault was filmed and shared on social media, leading to significant injuries for the victim, who required surgery for nerve damage. In court, Emery faced charges of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and expressed remorse, attributing his actions partly to psychological issues stemming from personal loss. He was sentenced to three years and ten months in prison. Watene-Kumeroa, who was involved in the attack but did not use the machete, was sentenced to ten months of home detention after being found guilty of wounding with intent to injure and additional charges related to a police pursuit prior to the party. Both offenders received discounts on their sentences based on their youth and expressions of remorse.
