It started with client who wouldn't pay a prostitute and ended in a tractor rampage, two damaged cars and criminal convictions. New Zealand's Timaru District Court has heard how a prostitute tried to get her own back on Christopher Malcolm Duane Muir, a farmhand on the country's South Island, who didn't pay after using her services.
The Dominion Post reports the prostitute and three friends visited Muir on a farm to try to recover the money. Muir could not pay the women, who smashed his car windows and dented a door using a bat, causing about $NZ1400 ($A1240) damage, the court heard.
Muir then drove a tractor at the women's car while they were in it. A front loader on the tractor smashed the car's windscreen, shattering glass on Jacinta Kathleen Borrie, a front seat passenger. Muir tried to stop the car before it was driven away and struck a door of the vehicle with the tractor.
Muir pleaded guilty to dangerous driving of a tractor, five counts of unlawful taking, three of burglary, and incurring debt by deception. He will be sentenced on February 22. Borrie has pleaded guilty to intentionally damaging Muir's car and will reappear for sentencing on January 29. |
