Mongrel Mob gang's Notorious chapter. Man jailed for gang stabbing - crime - national | Stuff.co.nz
Man jailed for gang stabbing - crime - national | Stuff.co.nz: "28-year-old Christchurch man has been jailed for seven years and six months for a stabbing that arose from a misplaced sense of loyalty to the Mongrel Mob gang's Notorious chapter.
Shane Anaru Waterreus was today sentenced in Christchurch District Court after he was earlier found guilty by a jury of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
The incident arose from an argument on January 20 at a party at a Gloucester Street property over gang affiliations.
Crown prosecutor Sally Carter said Waterreus' misplaced sense of loyalty to a gang caused the violence, and was the focus behind what happened. She recommended he receive a minimum non-parole sentence.
Defence counsel Paul Norcross said Waterreus now accepted his wrong-doing. He said Waterreus had a disagreement with the complainant, blows were struck and he grabbed a knife.
Mr Norcross said it was no secret it was gang-related, but it was not an organised gang activity, and there was no gang support for what took place, and no gang support since.
Judge Michael Crosbie said Waterreus and another man had an argument about gang affiliations, and Waterreus took exception to the complainant's affiliation to the Crips."
