A woman convicted of the 2008 murder of a Wanganui man, who was attacked in the mistaken belief he was a gang member, is being given the chance to appeal her conviction by the Supreme Court.
Raeleen Matewai Noyle Rameka and three others were found guilty in the High Court at Wanganui in December 2009 over the death of Paul Kumeroa.
She was sentenced to life imprisonment with no chance of parole for 10 years and six months.
Her co-accused Clarke Jones McCallum, Daniel Craig Rippon and Jamie Ngahuia Ahsin were also given life sentences for the murder.
The Supreme Court today released its decision to allow Rameka leave to appeal her conviction.
