Te Kuiti woman Bronwyn Rutter sentenced to home detention for stealing $1.6m from sister's bank accounts.

Te Kuiti woman Bronwyn Rutter was sentenced to home detention after stealing nearly $1.6m from her ailing sister's bank accounts to buy a house. Rutter, who claimed it was a "momentary lapse in judgment", argued against the sentence, hoping to move to Australia to live with her son. The court found her offense too serious for home detention but deemed prison inappropriate due to her fragile mental health.
