    The sister of a man who died in the fatal Loafers Lodge fire was in tears as the verdict was delivered in the High Court at Wellington


    50-year old Esarona Lologa was found guilty of five counts of murder after 17 hours of jury deliberations.

    Renowned Wellington busker Mike Wahrlich - known as Mike the Juggler was killed in the blaze.

    Speaking outside the court, Margaret Wahrlich thanked everyone for their support and spoke of Mike's legacy.
