Inquiries with Mr Orchard’s family confirmed they were interested in entering into a restorative justice programme, but they asked for Andrews to be sentenced in Wellington.
Judge Broadmore entered the conviction and remanded Andrews to the Hastings District Court, as a nominal location, for sentencing on October 22.
He directed Andrews to enter into a restorative justice programme, during which a discussion about where sentencing should take place should occur.
Judge Broadmore entered a pre-sentence report to address all options short of imprisonment, including community and home detention options.
