Frenzy
Late yesterday, Newstalk ZB reported that...
Murdered Mangere officer was in Split Enz.
"The undercover police officer murdered outside a suspected P lab in South Auckland was once a member of Split Enz.
Sergeant Don Wilkinson was shot dead yesterday morning after he and a colleague tried to put a tracking device on a car outside a suspected P lab.
Superintendent Ted Cox has spoken to the officer's mum and dad and they have told him how proud they are of their son and the work that he did. Police also said Sergeant Wilkinson was a keen guitarist, even playing lead for Split Enz in their early days.
The officer has had a varied career working in places like Antarctica and worked for the UN in Bosnia." 12 Sept, 17.19 NewsTalkZB
A number other news-sites, like NZcity, picked it up (see here), buta brief search on Google will show you that the guitarist in question was Wally Wilkinson, and Don Wilkinson was 11 when Split Enz started in 1973. Newstalk ZB have since amended their report.
