1 December 2024
Sifa Tevita was expelled from Australia following a murder-for-hire plot in 2005, where he killed a young wheelchair-bound man at age 17.
But then at age 37, Tevita last year stole a Porsche sports car, and was chased by Police driving the wrong way on the Waikato Expressway.
He was initially on electronically monitored bail, but failed to show up to sentencing, and was seen five days later in Auckland in a stolen Mazda with burglary tools.
Tevita was eventually sentenced to two years and seven months in prison.
