Justice for our beautiful Ariki 🤍

Hastings, Hawke's Bay

ARIKI-MARIE PHOENIX RIGBY

A youthful Maori girl who's life was tragically taken from her loved ones at the age of 18 years old.

Ariki was BRAVE, confident and a natural MANA WAHINE with her whole life ahead of her.

Ariki made plans to travel the world and pursue her passions,

Save and build her own home

Very gifted at SINGING, DANCING, RAP, SPORTS.

YOU NAME IT, SHE COULD DO IT!

She may have been a troubled teen, but what teen isn't?

Does not mean she deserved this.

In the last hours of Arikis life....

She was beaten, left with broken bones&fractures, than murdered.

Before being shoved under the driver's seat and burnt in a torched up vehicle on the outskirts of The TukiTuki River, Havelock North.

Than lay there for a further two days after the police failed to identify her remains.

She was mistaken as a animal!

A dog walker found Ariki after those two days.

If it wasn't for him, she would have never came home to her loved ones who were searching high and low for her!

The whanau need closure and special attention to the case.

"They tried to cover it up, and get rid of all the evidence, now they're walking around free"

Justice deserves to be brought to our beautiful Ariki she will not be remembered this way.

We love you Ariki Rigby 💙

Justice March to Parliament  21 April 2023

Kiaora whanau and supporters.

Myself and Breanna Muriwais whanau have been working hard this past month to organise a March for justice for our missing people and unresolved cases here in Aotearoa.

This kaupapa has come about due to the incompetence of our system and to make amends for the wrongs that have been inflicted on the cases of our people.

We will be marching a peaceful march to present our cases to parliament.

Our main goal for this is to raise the awareness of certain aspects that have been happening for years amongst our people and to make the wrongs right, that this further treatment will no longer happen in our beautiful Nation.

June the 1st at 10am we will make this happen and welcome all those along that welcome the kaupapa.

Arohanui to everybody that supports our beautiful Ariki and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

God bless everybody 🙏🤍

I respite fostered her in Whanganui... have some amazing memories. She really made an impact and I saw the light (holy spirit) come out of her over her time with me and I loved hearing she was getting into her faith when she returned home. We then lost touch... she was a teenager and I understood! I was also embarrased to tell her I was still with the guy she told me to break up with. We are broken up now Ariki! She had alot of wisdom beyond her years.
