The toddler at the centre of a homicide died without an official name. Despite being known by whanau as Ruthless-Empire Souljah-Reign Rhind Shepherd Wall, Stuff understands the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) rejected the name and was working with the family to find a suitable alternative when he was killed.
[…]Stuff understands the three people include Ru’s mother, Storm Angel Wall, a female relative and a male who is not believed to be the child’s father.
All three were living at the Poole St house […] Police said Wall had only been living there for a few weeks. According to her Facebook page, she had previously been living in Hamilton.
In a Facebook post in July, Wall said she had previously “f***** up” with a child.
“I also lost my second child due to domestic violence via January 2023, and I can admit I wasn’t the best mother figure, and it took me six months to realise, but now I’m fully there and making that change.”
