The sad life of Hans Zittersteijn
Before you judge Hans Zittersteijn, read our story on his sad life of abuse and homelessness.
In March, three days into the level 4 lockdown, stressed and desperate over living in noisy transitional housing, Zittersteijn, 57, went to the police for help and then the hospital.
He waited five hours to see the crisis team but in the end all he got was a packed lunch.
It reminded him of the lunches he used to get at Miramar Central School.
Tragically, it also reminded him of a fire he set at the school in 1978.
Feeling stressed, he returned to Miramar and did what he did all those years ago - set the school on fire.
This week he was sentenced to three years imprisonment.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
