A 45-year-old man has today made a shock admission of murdering a woman shot dead in Greymouth last year.
George Sean Warren pleaded guilty at the High Court in Christchurch this morning to the murder of the 43-year-old woman, whose identity remains suppressed.
Two other men, with interim name suppression, have denied obstructing justice. Other suppressions are also in place.
Justice Gerald Nation remanded Warren in custody for sentencing in Greymouth on June 8. It's expected that the summary of facts will be heard then.
The woman was reportedly shot dead at her home in Greymouth on the Sunday afternoon of October 22 last year.
