Woman kidnapped, dog shot in Upper Hutt

A terrified Upper Hutt woman was kidnapped and had to watch as her dog was shot in front of her, police say.

The 20-year-old woman's ordeal began when she was exercising her crossbred dog Iwi in a Riverbank St park about 5pm Tuesday.

A man drove up in a blue four-door car, pointed a sawn-off shotgun at her and ordered her and the dog into the vehicle, Detective John Fagan said.

They were then taken on a 10-minute drive to an isolated part of the Akatarawa Cemetery where the man parked the car. He loaded the gun, and allegedly pointed it at the woman before swinging it around and shooting the dog in the head.

As Iwi lay dying, the woman pleaded to be let out of the car and to be allowed to take him with her. The man dropped them off on Akatarawa Rd, near Potaka St. (click on title to read more)
