Accused named

The man charged with the murder of Korrey Whyman can now be named as Credence Paripari Malcolm. Name suppression for Malcolm, 30, lapsed one week after his first appearance at Rotorua District Court, where he was granted interim name suppression after his lawyer Max Simpkins cited ‘‘extreme hardship’’. Simpkins said at the time his client wanted to be able to inform his elderly mother of the charge, rather than have her ‘‘hear through the media’’. Whyman, 28, a mother of three young children from Kawerau, was shot inside a vehicle as it travelled on State Highway 33 towards Mourea, near Rotorua, early on the morning of September 25. She was rushed to hospital with a serious gunshot wound to her head but later died from her injuries.
