I'm shocked at the sentence for killing another human being, I had to chuckle at the murderers occupation though.

Yeah I had to when I saw that he was some sort of outdoor safety management consultant. You can get away with murder in New Zealand as long you pass it off as a hunting accident.

I'm sure the frankly, pathetic sentence is going to mean a lot to the grieving relatives of the victim. Is there no sentence of 'involuntary manslaughter' in New Zealand ?
