New Zealander Bailey Junior Kurariki is back in jail after allegedly breaching his parole conditions by using drugs.

The country's youngest convicted killer – he was 13 when he was jailed for manslaughter over the death of Michael Choy in 2001 – was arrested at 7.30pm on Friday and charged with breaching parole the Herald on Sunday resported.

He was released only three months ago on conditions including he not use or possess "alcohol and/or illicit drugs".

He was also under electronic monitoring and had to attend weekly counselling sessions.

His arrest came after his probation officer lodged a complaint with the Parole Board.

Kurariki was taken Mt Eden Prison and the Parole Board would meet over the issue tomorrow.

Mr Choy's mother, Rita Croskery, told the Herald she was not surprised by Kurariki's arrest.

"I would have hoped, though, that he would have tried to turn things around, especially given the fact he was being monitored so closely," she said.

This is a sad story,

This is a sad story, murderers are getting younger everyday. I'd rather die than seeing a toddler pointing a real loaded gun at me.

He was 12yrs old when he...

was part of a group of youths who waylaid and killed a Chinese pizza delivery man.But he was an experienced street smart urchin, as they used to say,by that age. I suspect the only real education he has had in a youth prison, and now an adult prison, is how to be a better criminal. I bet I have another story to write about this kid - he was described as a ticking time-bomb. Sad, of course!

Kinda puts a new spin on "fear nothing but fear itself" I am sure I am misquoting the crap out of that quote but ya get my drift. Where are this kids parents? Does he have parents?

He has an elderly mother...

no sign of any father.To me he looks like the devil with the face of a choir boy. Use the link and go to my blogger blogsite - there is a photo of him when he was 13 yrs old.

Stories like these

seem to dominate the press nowadays. Here in the UK it's teenage knife crime that is the big problem. No one seems to be accountable anymore and everything is someone else's fault apparently.

Yeah I have read about them...

James. What about that Canadian bus case in the last couple of days where a young guy was knifed and decapitated - the killer was throwing the head about.
