Wayne Butcher

Wayne Butcher was recently jailed for setting a fire in South Auckland that caused significant damage to his apartment complex. He lit the fire on his bed using toilet paper as kindling, claiming he was tired of the constant fighting and yelling in the building. Butcher, who has struggled with schizophrenia and addiction, expressed a desire to go to jail as he felt there was nothing for him in society. His sentence reflects considerations of his mental health and personal circumstances.
