Due to the live nature of Tonight, we apologise for the lack of captions for some items. We hear from Scott Guy's stricken wife and see how his sister reacted to the accused, her husband, in court. Hundreds turn out in an emotional farewell for the wee triplets killed in a mall fire in Doha. And should we have access to them? The controversial call to relax the rules around repatriation of toi moko. Kia ora. Good evening. The widow of farmer Scott Guy broke down in court as she recalled the morning he was killed. Kylee Guy says she collapsed after hearing the news. And Scott Guy's sister, the wife of the man accused of killing him, also took the stand. Simon Bradwell was in court. Kylee Guy still wears the symbols of her marriage to Scott Guy, and two years on, she clearly still carries the scars of his death. Here recalling the moment she saw a police officer at their house. We stopped, and we just stood there ` me and Hunter. And then he came down the driveway up to me. SOBS: And then I said, 'What's happened?' Yeah. < OK. Minutes earlier, Kylee Guy and her young son Hunter had heard a motorbike on the property. He got all excited, wanting Dad. < What did he say? 'Dad, bike.' He wanted his dad. < And is that what he said usually, when he heard bikes? Yeah, he ran` Every morning he ran down to meet Scott. Yeah. Instead, the bike belonged to someone rushing to the murder scene. I came into the entry, and then I just collapsed. And then I think` And then Hunter started getting upset because I was upset, so I just went down to our bedroom, cuddling him. Ewen MacDonald is accused of killing Scott Guy with a shotgun. His wife, Anna MacDonald, Scott Guy's sister, also took the stand, without a glance at her husband. We weren't allowed to film Ewen MacDonald here in the dock while his wife gave evidence, but the pair didn't appear to acknowledge or even look at each other during her 25-minute appearance. She also battled tears as she recalled her mother's grief. She kept saying, 'Not my baby, not Scotty'. < Carry on. What happened then? Um,... Sorry... < Just take some` Take some water. Ewen MacDonald then came running into the house. He looked really pale, and he was shaking, and he'd been crying. Unlike other witnesses, both women were ushered out a side door away from Ewen MacDonald after giving evidence. The court heard that, like Scott Guy's father, Bryan, they'll return to give more evidence later in the trial. Simon Bradwell, ONE News. Auckland police are urging a gunman who fired at a police officer to give himself up. Armed police are still hunting for Murray Toleafoa, as Briar Wells reports. Police swarmed over this house in the Auckland suburb Glen Innes, hunting a gunman who shot at one of their own. The suspect's Murray Toleafoa (30). He was a passenger in a car which was pulled over in Central Auckland in the early hours of this morning. While speaking to the occupants, the male passenger pulled what is believed to look similar to a police Glock pistol and fired at the officers. He was lucky, escaping with burns on his arms ` a result of close-range gunfire. It's obviously a traumatic situation for him. We have counselling services and welfare available to him. He's spent the day with his family. Police chased the gunman and the driver, but they got away. The shooting sparked renewed calls to arm the front line, but the country's top police officer brushed that aside. It wouldn't have made the slightest difference, from what I've been told, whether the police officer was armed or otherwise. It was a very sudden move. Toleafoa's known to have gang connections. What I suggest to either Murray, if he's watching this, or to family, friends or associates of him ` if they know where he is, get him to give himself up and come to the police. We don't want this to end in any tragedy. Police vow they will find him eventually. Briar Wells, ONE News. The Police Association won't comment on a leaked memo from its president that claims front line officers could receive performance-based pay. The letter from Greg O'Connor says police bosses are looking to adjust pay packets for officers, claiming some are overpaid by 20%. Although the Association refused to comment tonight, it says in the letter it's not prepared to accept performance-based salaries. Police management disputes those claims. A woman convicted of assault after a supermarket scuffle has been sentenced to 10 months in jail. Cherylly Campbell's attack on two Rotorua supermarket workers was captured on video and went viral on the internet. The jail term was also for charges of driving while disqualified and assaulting a police officer. 'Little monkeys' and 'magic children'. That's how the NZ triplets killed in a Doha fire were described by their parents. Hundreds of people gathered at St Paul's Cathedral in Wellington today to farewell the two-year-olds. Rebecca Edwards was there. It was a time to remember,... Lillie was our princess. She loved ruffled skirts so she could twirl like a ballerina, and looked gorgeous in tiny leg warmers. ...a time to celebrate,... Jackie was the child who drew on the walls, and when asked, smiled like an angel and said 'Winkie did it'. ...a time to say goodbye. Winkie loved to hold your hand. If he wanted to go somewhere or do anything he would softly take our hands and say, 'Mummy, come on. Mummy, come on.' Two-year-old Willsher, Lillie and Jackson Weekes were brought home to Wellington for their final farewell. One of Jane's favourite quotes is, 'A mother's love is not divided amongst her children, 'but is multiplied with each child.' We miss them enormously. The triplets were among 19 people killed when a fire broke out in a Doha Mall two weeks ago. Described as three little monkeys, their family say each day with them was filled with happiness and laughter. Our lives will always have a deep hole that once was filled with Lillie, Willsher and Jackson. Lillie, Jackson and Willsher, Mummy and Daddy will always love you and the joy you brought to our lives. As three tiny caskets were carried out of the cathedral, balloons in the triplets' favourite colours were released into the sky. Rebecca Edwards, ONE News. Hekia Parata has met education groups, following her backdown on increasing class sizes. The scrapped policy means other ways must now be found to save more than $100m. And that may lead to another battle between teachers and the government over plans to introduce performance pay and charter schools. Here's political reporter Michael Parkin. Hekia Parata may wish she could wind back the clock on her announcement to increase class sizes. Oh, look, you know, it has been challenging. But look, that's part of the whole dynamism of the education sector. A sector that now feels, with the minister backing down, that it has the upper hand heading into talks on school funding and student achievement. There is a certain sense of satisfaction, but I think a sense of relief from the country. Scrapping the funding reforms leaves a $114M hole in the government's books ` money it will now squeeze elsewhere from the education sector. What the government will go and do is talk to the sector, work with others, but find another way of achieving the same outcome. There are always lots of ways to get past Go and collect $200. But this may spark yet another stoush with teacher unions, which say they know what should be cut. Charter schools are going to cost an awful lot of money to develop and introduce. Performance-pay systems are hugely expensive. The education sector may have momentum, but charter schools and performance pay are unlikely to generate the sort of backlash that's clearly needed to get the government to do a U-Turn. The Greens are calling for John Key to stand Hekia Parata down over this debacle. However, teacher unions don't support that. < You'd be quite keen to keep Hekia Parata there < for the sole reason that you've got the upper hand over her, wouldn't you? Well, we have a good engagement with Hekia, and we would look to continue to build that engagement. I'm really focused on how I can be a better and better Minister of Education. There have been lessons to learn here. I will learn them. But her battle with the sector looks set to carry on. Michael Parkin, ONE News. Parents and teachers of special-needs students are fighting to keep specialist units open. The Ministry of Education has announced pupils deemed to have so-called 'moderate' learning difficulties will have to move into mainstream classes. A petition with 11,000 signatures is being presented to the Government, arguing against the proposed changes. I'm very concerned about it. I think` This is, um, an option that we've had at our school for 26 years. It has worked very well for a lot of students, and the parents and family are great advocates of it because they've seen it work for their children. The Ministry of Education says experienced special-needs teachers will help train those in mainstream classes. Cultural experts are outraged at calls for protocols around toi moko or 'preserved Maori heads' to be relaxed. One of this country's most distinguished historians claims to have uncovered new evidence which shows the trade of toi moko was little more than a profitable industry for Maori. Kim Vinnell has the story. SINGING, WAILING The return of toi moko is always accompanied by ceremony and emotion. CONCH SHELL BLOWS Sacred to Maori, the tattooed heads are kept under wraps. Now historian Paul Moon says it's time for those rules to change. Here's taxpayer-funded repatriation programme, with these items going into a taxpayer-funded museum, and yet we can't film them because of cultural reasons. Now, historically, those cultural reasons wouldn't have stood up. A few images of toi moko have been released over the years, but Mr Moon says new information proves the heads were far from sacred when they were traded. One captain, for example, pointed out that he could order a head on demand. Tikanga, or cultural, expert, Pou Temara, accepts the heads were an industry to early Maori,... It was much easier to, um, sell a head for one musket as opposed to five tons of potatoes or five tons of flax. ...but rejects calls for protocols to be relaxed. What about the people to whom` the relatives whose heads were taken and sold? What about their feelings? The government's given $4.5M to Te Papa since 2003, specifically for its repatriation programme. While Paul Moon isn't asking for that spending to be reviewed, he does ask that repatriation ceremonies recognise these weren't deeply sacred treasures at the time. Ultimately, the toi moko that come home are` are our fallen dead. And out of respect for hose warriors, or chiefs, uh, we should respect them by not allowing pictures of their deceased bodies be filmed. Protocols which Te Papa says are made in conjunction with iwi and won't be changed without iwi support. Kim Vinnell, ONE News. Just ahead ` our ultra-fast broadband network comes under fire. The explosive situation in Syria brings a dire warning from the UN. And find out why the Anzac centenary celebrations at Gallipoli are causing controversy across the Tasman. 1 The much-hailed ultra-fast broadband network looks like it's actually been a bit slow to get off the ground. Figures released to ONE News show just over half of the expected cable has been laid. Chorus, the company in charge of the majority of the roll-out blames the Auckland Port strikes earlier this year for the hold up. Well, I think Chorus is on track to meet all of its year one targets. That's what they've told us; that's what they've told their investors. But Labour says the delays are unacceptable, because it's mainly schools who have missed out so far. In Syria, there're been a dangerous escalation of the conflict, with United Nations monitors coming under fire. They're investigating another mass killing, allegedly at the hands of pro-government forces. The ABC's Craig McMurtrie has more. MAN SPEAKS IN ARABIC BOOM! More bullets and bloodshed in Syria. BOOM! And the international community appears unable to do anything about it. Charred remains in the tiny village of Al Kabir and disturbing images of dead children posted on the web by opposition by activists, who say dozens were slaughtered here. Ban Ki-moon called the attacks 'shocking' and 'sickening'. BOOM! The trail of blood leads back to those responsible. Unarmed UN monitors were not only denied access by Syrian government forces, they were fired on. Condemning the latest bloodshed, Kofi Annan acknowledged that his peace plan isn't working. I must be frank and confirm that the plan is not being implemented. Others lined up to condemn the Assad regime. There is a case to be made that crimes against humanity have been committed. The Assad regime denies any involvement, and the UN Security Council can't agree. TRANSLATOR: It is wrong to rely on support of those opposition groups. On a visit to Turkey, the US Secretary of State called the latest violence unconscionable. Assad has doubled down on his brutality and duplicity. But for all the condemnation, the international community remains divided over military intervention and whether the regime is controlling the militia groups blamed for the massacres or whether Syria is succumbing to sectarian violence and civil war. Across the Tasman, there's talk of holding a ballot to decide who can attend the centenary Anzac commemoration at Gallipoli in 2015. About a 100,000 Aussies have already shown an interest, but only 10,500 will able to go, and this is already prompting controversy. Channel Nine's Lane Calcutt has more. One of our most sacred sites ` Anzac Cove, Gallipoli ` packed with thousands of Aussies, (PLAYS 'THE LAST POST') ...saluting the heroes, the spirit that helped define us. But who's there for the centenary in 2015 could come down to the luck of the draw. CHEERING They're very sensitive to the need to manage this properly. The interest is so huge, the site so small, so geographically restrictive, that thousands will miss out. Who does and why is troubling organisers. One option is a Sydney Olympics-style lottery. That's part of the discussion we will have with the broader community. At least one state RSL fears descendants of those who died could miss out to tourists. There should be` should be some preferential given to next of kin. Members of local clubs agree. The descendants actually paid for it with their own blood. If they want to show homage to their, uh, fallen relatives, I think they should be given priority. People should, uh, hold their powder, keep their powder dry. Numbers are restricted at 10,500. Organisers say 10 times that have already expressed interest in being there in 2015. There will be widespread community consultation and with Turkey and NZ before any decision. Tour companies have been told not to give those wanting to go unreasonable expectations. You might not know the name, but you've probably heard his music. Tributes have been pouring in for Bob Welch ` the former guitarist for that turbulent musical soap opera known as Fleetwood Mac. Welch, who was 66, was found dead at his Nashville home after shooting himself. He joined Fleetwood Mac in 1971, replacing the legendary Peter Green. FLEETWOOD MAC'S 'MILES AWAY' # That swamp is getting deeper all the time. # And the faces that I see don't seem to shine # Welch left in 1974 and enjoyed a number of solo hits, and this was one of the biggest from 1977. 'EBONY EYES' # Your eyes got me dreamin' # Your eyes got me blind # Your eyes got me hopin' # Former band mate Mick Fleetwood said welch played a huge part in the band's history and his songs would live on forever. Just ahead ` hard hit ` the biggest lawsuit in the history of sport. Find out why thousands of former football players are suing the NFL. American football's renowned for its big hits, but now the NFL has been hit by sport's biggest ever lawsuit. Thousands of former players are accusing the league of covering up the risks of serious head injury. The ABC's Chris Cuomo explains. The signature of professional football, violent contact, is now the basis for the biggest sport fight in the history of sport. The NFL has been sacked in a lawsuit by over 2000 former players and their families. The charge ` Jim McMahon led the Chicago Bears to Super Bowl victory. He's now one of the players suing the league. We knew there was going to be chance for injury, but we didn't know about the head trauma. And they did, and that's the whole reason for this lawsuit. (SHOUT INDISTINCTLY) The hits that excite audiences and are arguably promoted by the league as a calling card for the game has been found by ESPN's Sport Science to be the force equivalent of a sledgehammer blow to the head. CRASH! One study found that the average player takes 900 to 1500 head shots a season. Multiple hits to the head, multiple concussions, can, and we know, does potentially cause long-term side effects that is irreversible. The concern is that recent suicides of some of the sport's biggest stars like Junior Seau, Dave Duerson and Ray Easterling may be related to head trauma suffered during their playing years. The players claim no one knows the science and destructive potential of these collisions better than the NFL. Included in the complaint is the charge that from 1994 to 2007, the league had its own committee to supposedly study the issue but instead generated false findings about head trauma. The committee found 'returning to play after a concussion 'does not involve significant risk of a second injury 'either in the same game or during the season.' It breaks your heart, man. I gather you've known for years and years that he can't recognise you or doesn't know` have any idea who you are or anybody else is. I mean that's` that's tough to deal with. The league's response is the NFL has long made player safety a priority and continues to do so. Any allegation that the NFL sought to mislead players has no merit. Now to the most viewed stories on our website today. Police are urging the man they believe responsible for firing a gun at a police officer to turn himself in. Police have identified a skeleton found in a Mt Wellington garage last year as a 25-year-old homicide victim. And an abundance of crowing birds at the Auckland SPCA has prompted a free rooster campaign for June. Now to the weather. The cold front moves up the South Island tonight, reaching Wellington around midnight and then fades out across the top of the country tomorrow evening. A second weakening front follows in it's wake, but quickly fades away over central NZ. For weather, see tvnz.co.nz Looking to Sunday ` North Island hill have a few showers in the west, fine in the east. South Island will be cold and showery in the west, with showers developing in the east. Then on Monday, another wet day, although in the South Island increasing fine spells in the west with snow lowering to low levels at night in the south-east. That's it from us here on Tonight.
