Stuff: Judge’s suppression order mocked online

Did anyone not see this coming?

Offshore bloggers are thumbing their noses at an historic suppression order issued by a District Court judge preventing the online publication of the names of two men charged with murder.

Judge David Harvey yesterday ordered that internet websites were forbidden from publishing the names of two men charged with murdering 14-year-old John Hapeta in South Auckland on August 12.

The names of the two can be published in newspapers, and broadcast on the radio and television.
