The Star has learned the 23-year-old was working at the wedding of the former All Blacks captain and former Black Sticks player in January, at The Olive Grove in Wanaka. When contacted by The Star yesterday Gemma McCaw said: “I don’t want to comment on that.” Richie McCaw’s agent Dean Hegan said because it was before the courts, he could not comment. The 23-year-old has been charged in relation to the shooting of a mother and daughter at a Rolleston address on April 19, seriously injuring both, before the armed robbery of Hotel Ashburton later that night. He has also been charged with the robbery of the Springston Hotel on April 6. Shots were fired in both holdups. He is currently being held in custody. He has interim name suppression.
