He initially told his mate that he’d hit a dog, but he’d actually run over and killed another person.
Sean Buis was lured to a popular Dunedin park, where he was run over and left for dead – and now the man behind the wheel has pleaded guilty to manslaughter.
Lance Moore, 36, appeared in the High Court of Dunedin before Justice Rachel Dunningham on Tuesday morning, where that charge was amended.
Moore was initially charged with murder and faced a trial for next year, but instead entered a plea of guilty to the manslaughter of Buis, 28.
That charge arose from a fatal incident just over a year ago, when Buis was hit by a red Ford Falcon driven by Moore at Unity Park on Eglinton Rd, on the evening of July 21, 2022.
