Murder and Ethnicity
David Farrar made this Official Information request to Ministry of Justice
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for David Farrar to read a recent response and update the status.
From: David Farrar
Dear Ministry of Justice,
I would like information on murderers and murder victims, broken down by ethnicity. Specially a cross-reference, so one can state that where the murderer was a particular ethnicity, what was the ethnicity of the victims.
Ideally this would be for the last ten years, but a shorter period is fine is that is easier.
Happy to clarify anything which is unclear
Yours faithfully,
David Farrar
