Police in Auckland have made an arrest in the fatal concrete block case.
A 14-year-old boy has been charged with murder after Chris Currie was killed when the slab was dropped from an Auckland overbridge and smashed through the windscreen of his car while he was driving along the Southern Motorway on Friday night.

Good, disgusting that anyone could do such a thing. !
I just have to wonder what went through his mind when picking it up from the construction site and carrying it to the bridge and then throwing it off. He would have known it would cause death or a major accident. And it was premeditated obviously!
In this case death to a young man that wasn't doing anything to anybody except driving. I feel so sorry for his girlfriend who was in the car at the time and his poor family.

I think he did surely I remember when I was that age, I knew that if I threw a concrete slab at anyone I would hurt them badly! It doesn't take a genius to realise that if you threw it from high up the impact would be much worse.
We are talking about an 8kg slab of concrete here!

I am the parent of a 14 year old.
Sometimes they are more adult than me in their outlook, decision making, and general coping with the world.
Sometimes they do things that defy description.
Nothing excuses what the boy did, my heart aches for Chris Curry's family and friends, but I can't imagine the 14 year old had murder on his mind and now he has to live with the consequences forever.

Yes, I'm so glad they got him. I think its good that he's not just going to get a slap on the wrist for this. I just wonder what goes through a persons head at the time of such an act. It doesn't take a genius to know when a car is travelling up to 100Kms and you drop an 8kg rock on it that it can cause injury or worse as we know death.

Whatever the outcome is, it won't matter. It will not bring the guy that was killed back

All I have to say is what a stupid idiot. He has stuffed up his whole life and taken a young mans life away, not to mention what both their families now have to go through. I can only hope that my children have more brains when they are this age.

what a sad waste of a young life! i feel for Chris,s parents and girlfriend,what a horrific thing to see and be involved in,see will not forget for the rest of her life!
As a mother of a 13,17,19 and 22 yr old, i know my kids at 14 knew exactly the repercussions of their actions and thankfully all have had more brains than this 14 yr old!!! Hopefully some good will come out of this and other young people will understand how it is to stuff up and how short life is before trying to do the same stupid random acts of violence and stupidity! I also feel for this 14 yr old parents and wonder how they are coping with this distressing thought that their child is a killer

it is a terrible waste of two young lives. the boy who did its life is most likely ruined now too. anger and retribution won't bring back chris currie. i think it is a symptom of something bigger - we need to do something about a society in which such a mindless act is committed.
something similar happened when i was living in the uk in 1994 when some kids dropped a concrete piece over the side of a housing estate building and someone was killed. they were poor, disenfranchised, bored and they pretty much had awful lives trapped in the kind of place and lives you wouldn't wish your own kids to live in. i hate thinking that that is the way new zealand is going.
