Life goes on as normal in Manurewa's Mahia Rd, with one exception - the noticeable lack of graffiti.

---So according the the NZ Hearald, all you have to do is stab to death a graffiti artist or two in your neighborhood to cut down on tagging. Worst headline ever?

    • I understand your anger Leanne (mother of Pihema) and I admire your courage to speak out. You are not asking for Bruce Emery's blood, you just want justice and the value of your son's life recognised by the Judicial Laws

    • Police on guard for tagging verdict

      The grandfather of a South Auckland teenager fatally stabbed after tagging a garage door wiped tears from his eyes as he sat next to the dead boy's grave and said his killer had been found guilty of manslaughter.

      It was not the message he had wanted to deliver to the grave of 15-year-old Pihema Cameron, who died from a single stab wound to the chest.

      The fatal wound was inflicted by 50-year-old businessman Bruce William Emery, who had caught him tagging his garage door and chased him for 360 metres into a dark, dead-end street.

      I don't know about you, but that sounds like murder to me!

      R.I.P. Pihema Cameron
