Tongan men

The two men were injured in the early hours of Sunday morning, 20 June.

They were released from Blenheim’s Wairau Hospital, a Nelson Marlborough Health spokesperson said on Wednesday.

Lynch and the two men were out celebrating a birthday when they were seriously injured in what police believe was an altercation between the Tongan men and a gang from outside the region, according to Stuff.co.

They have confirmed the victim as 28-year-old Eplahame Tu'uheava, whose partner is recovering from gunshot wounds in hospital.

Detectives are appealing for the public's help to catch two Tongan men after the execution-style killing of Mr Tu'uheava who was shot in the head on a lonely road in Mangere.

His wife Mele survived a gunshot to her upper body.

Tevita Kaihea and Charlie Hola, both 21, face a Nov. 27 trial date in Sacramento Superior Court in the shooting death of 25-year-old Roman Gonzalez.

The Bee reports Kaihea and Hola are tied to a deadly daylight shooting in a Sacramento City College parking lot in September 2015.

Prosecutors say hard looks and coded greetings from gang rivals – the Tongan Crips and the Franklin Boulevard Nortenos – triggered the bloodshed on Sept. 3, 2015, that briefly shut down the Land Park campus in its chaotic aftermath.

Luigi Havea and Panepasa Havea were among ten accused found guilty of kidnapping Jindarat from her home on March 1 last year.
