Landlord 'ran over' tenant after attack outside property

STACY SQUIRES/STUFF

Christchurch landlord Chandra Phal says the death of his tenant was an accident.

A landlord involved in the death of his tenant says he drove off in fear after being attacked, not realising the man was hanging on to his car for about 100 metres.

Christchurch man Chandra Phal told Stuff he arrived at his rental property on Bevington St, Avonhead, on Saturday to take photos for a Facebook advertisement after serving the tenants a 90-day eviction notice.

When he arrived, one of the tenants, Anthony Robinson, was outside mowing the front lawn.

Phal said he sat in his car for about 10 minutes texting potential new tenants while he waited for Robinson to go inside so he could take the photographs.

"He must've seen me from somewhere and Jodie [Reeves, Robinson's partner], came out and started yelling out racial abuse.

Anthony Robinson lived in a rental home in Avonhead, Christchurch.

SUPPLIED

Anthony Robinson lived in a rental home in Avonhead, Christchurch.

"I was more interested in taking the photos than what was happening and I could see [Robinson] lunging towards me and swearing and I felt threatened.

"My reaction was to get out of there, I jumped in the car, closed the door and floored the car. Unknown to me he had put his hand inside the car window and grabbed onto the car. My aim was just to get away."

Phal said it wasn't until he heard Robinson, 51, yell "you're hurting me", about 100m up the road that he realised he was holding onto the car.
"I could see his face and his hand. I stopped and he fell to the ground.

"I proceeded because I thought I was in danger. I rung the police and I could see people running to him so I knew he was being taken care of."
Phal said he continued driving as he spoke to police, saying he would only go back to the scene if they could guarantee his safety.

When he returned Robinson was lying on the ground, with paramedics attending to him.

"I was shocked," Phal recalled.

He sat on the roadside for about an hour before he was told the man had died.

"I didn't kill someone, it was an accident ... I didn't even know he had hung on to the car. I was just trying to run away."

Phal said on Sunday he was still coming to terms with what happened.

"Reality hasn't sunk in that I caused a death, a preventable death. My main concerns was my own safety, I didn't want him to punch me."

Christchurch landlord Chandra Phal says he did not realise his tenant was hanging on to his car as he drove away.

STACY SQUIRES/STUFF

Christchurch landlord Chandra Phal says he did not realise his tenant was hanging on to his car as he drove away.

Phal claimed the tenants had been racially abusing him for the last six months. An eviction notice, posted on Facebook by Reeves, said Phal claimed the tenants had breached the tenancy agreement due to a "breakdown in communication".

"I refuse to associate with anyone with adverse racial views," Phal's notice said.

Phal, who was born in Fiji and has lived in New Zealand for 36 years, provided Stuff with a series of text messages sent to him by Reeves.

Phal reported one racially abusive text to police. Reeves admitted sending the text and was issued a pre-charge warning.

Phal had issued the couple a 90-day notice to vacate by March 21. In his submission to the Tenancy Tribunal he said he was concerned about his safety when entering the property.

He also believed the tenant would "substantially damage" the property if allowed to stay.

Reeves told Stuff Phal was not supposed to be at the house until Sunday.

"He was asked to leave more than three times by me, he would not leave, he was taking photos of the house. Then Anthony went over leaned on his car, then he went to drive off but Anthony had hold of his car.

"He was going at least 50 (kmh) then he stood on his brake fast, then ran over him and drove off. He did not stop."

Reeves admitted she sent some "nasty messages" to Phal, but said he had put her "through so much hell" since May.

She also admitted telling Phal to "f… off, you black c…" on Saturday after telling him twice to leave.

"It does not matter what I call him, he still killed Anthony," she said.

The incident happened on Bevington St, Avonhead, on Saturday evening.

STACY SQUIRES/STUFF

The incident happened on Bevington St, Avonhead, on Saturday evening.

"He should not of been here, it makes me sick knowing an old man is taking photos of my home."

She said Phal's application with the Tenancy Tribunal was kicked out three days ago, but she and Robinson had been told to leave by March.

"Anthony was a sweetheart he had such a kind heart, he would do anything for anyone," Reeves said.

"[Phal] took everything away from me and his daughter."

In a statement on Sunday, police said the serious crash unit had finished examining the scene and several witnesses had already been spoken to.
Police wanted to hear from any witnesses who had not yet come forward.

Anyone who saw the incident or has information that may be of use to investigators should phone 105 and quote file number 200201/8672.
The problem is tenants have more rights than landlords,,,,if a tenant don't pay the rent,,the eviction should be immediate and not 3 warnings and all that crap,,, u should know in kiwiland how many tenants have played the system and in the end leave the land lords out of pocket...

Sending tourists back is a knee jerk reaction which is a gross overkill given the fact that the virus is relatively harmless compared to the seasonal flu infections that are currently circulating.

Opinion: 5 reasons coronavirus fears are overblown — and 14 stocks to buy now

‘We don’t expect these factors supporting investor confidence and consumer spending to change anytime soon’

A mother checks her son's forehead in Wuhan, which remained in lockdown for a fourth day on Monday.

Investor fears about the coronavirus are overblown.

So Monday’s biggest one-day percentage declines since early October in the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +1.44% and the S&P 500 index SPX, +1.50% on coronavirus fears have created nice buying opportunities in 14 stocks with lots of exposure to China.

Before we get to those, here are five reasons why investors are panicking too much about coronavirus.

1. Past contagious disease breakouts have been contained

The big unknown here is how deadly and contagious coronavirus is. No one really knows, but medical experts at Johns Hopkins are downplaying the threat from 2019-nCoV, the name for the type of coronavirus grabbing headlines.

“The immediate health risk from 2019-nCoV to the general public in the United States is thought to be low at this time,” says Gabor Kelen, a medical doctor and director of the Johns Hopkins Office of Critical Event Preparedness and Response.

Even if coronavirus turns out to be as contagious and deadly as really bad contagious diseases like Ebola, it will most likely be successfully curbed. The Ebola outbreak a few years ago was effectively kept in check, and so were the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) outbreak of 2003-04, and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) outbreak early last decade.


“All three outbreaks were contained before they could have a significant impact on the global economy or financial markets around the world,” says Ed Yardeni, of Yardeni Research. “We expect the same outcome with the current outbreak.”

The good news is that health officials learned a lot about containing virus outbreaks from those three experiences.

“Health technology has advanced considerably,” says Andrew Tilton, the chief Asia economist at Goldman Sachs. “Chinese authorities have already sequenced the virus and shared it with the global health community, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control have just developed a test for the virus.”
Another positive is that public awareness seems to be much higher, because of the more rapid official response in China and the internet and social media, says Tilton. Local authorities in China reported SARS quickly in early January 2003. But up the chain of command, officials dragged their feet. The first official press conference on SARS did not happen until Feb. 11.

2. The lockdown affects a small part of China

But what about the lockdown? Even if coronavirus is contained, won’t the lockdown have a big impact on China’s economy? Probably not, at least as things stand now. The cities locked down are all near Wuhan, in Hubei province, where coronavirus originated. So far, the lockdown affects only around 60 million people out of a population of 1.4 billion.

Likewise, Hubei province only produces about 4.7% of China’s overall GDP, according to the National Bureau of Statistics of China.

3. The breakout happened at an opportune time

China’s economy was about to wind down anyway for the Chinese New Year celebration when the outbreak occured. So productivity was already scheduled to take a seasonal dip.

To the extent that the virus in China creates domestic fear and unrest, or hurts the economy, it weakens China’s Premier Xi Jinping’s hand in tariff negotiations with the U.S. This suggests and easier path toward progress, which would be a positive for business confidence and the U.S. stock market.

Of course, the bad news here is that a lot more people in China have travel plans around the New Year. This could make the virus spread more quickly.

4. The public typically tends to overreact to health threats

Whenever there’s a new virus outbreak, people are egged on by the media echo chamber, which latches on to the story and repeats it ad nauseum, drilling fear and concern into the minds of investors and the general public alike. The same thing happens on social media, where rumors can spread unchecked.


This amplifies the perception of risk, but not the risk itself. At some point and perhaps soon, the media and Twitter will move on to the next story of the day, and coronavirus fears will ease.

The echo chamber impact was compounded by the following problem: Investor sentiment was extremely high going into this (both the Dow and the S&P set the latest in a string of records on Jan. 17), which made the market more vulnerable to “bad news” and negative headlines. Overconfident investors are convinced that nothing can go wrong. So when something negative crops up, they’re surprised and they feel betrayed, which escalates their selling.

Part of the exaggerated reaction to coronavirus is linked to the fact that it is new, and emanating from a foreign country. The fears about it seem irrational, if you consider the following contrasts. So far, coronavirus has claimed fewer than 100 lives. SARS, which also sparked widespread panic and investor selling, claimed hundreds of lives, and fewer than 10,000 cases were reported.

In contrast, other flu viruses in circulation in the U.S. last year took over 34,000 lives, and they are taking a similar toll this year. Yet unlike coronavirus and SARS, these flu viruses have had zero impact on the stock market. This suggests the current hysteria developing about coronavirus is irrational.

5. Any economic impact will be short lived

Coronavirus fears could hit travel globally, and produce a decline in consumer spending in Asia and the U.S. But the effect tends to wear off pretty fast. “These retrenchments in spending are short-lived as consumers eventually get frugal fatigue,” says Jay Bryson, acting chief economist at Wells Fargo Securities.

One fear is that there could be enough of a pullback in consumer spending and travel to hit economic growth. But again, the effect will probably be limited. “The negative impact on growth and asset prices from viral outbreaks typically normalizes within a few months,” says Tilton at Goldman Sachs.

“The outbreak of the coronavirus could drive large swings in Mainland China and emerging Asia growth in the first half but a much smaller impact on full-year growth, if the SARS episode is any guide,” says JP Morgan economist Bruce Kasman.

Several recent developments will continue support the economy and the stock market, says Baird chief investment strategist Bruce Bittles. He cites recent progress on U.S.-China trade talks, an accommodative Federal Reserve, low interest rates, and muted inflation. “We don’t expect these factors supporting investor confidence and consumer spending to change anytime soon,” he says.
