Forensic Analysis of State-Sanctioned Land Dispossession

The Winikerei and Kiriona Case Files (1947–2024)

1. Introduction: The Architecture of Administrative Tyranny

This report presents an exhaustive forensic analysis of a subversion within the New Zealand Maori Land Court system, specifically tracing the flow of assets, land titles, and financial benefits resulting from alleged property frauds concerning the Winikerei and Kiriona estates.

Key Perpetrators

Judge Robert Preshaw Dykes
Ruby Frances Victoria Bock (his wife)

Primary Date

January 31, 1947 - The divergence point of two financial timelines:

Fraudulent dispossession of Papa Winikerei lineage
Illicit enrichment of Haua Tuhera Kiriona estate

2. The Operational Mechanics of the Fraud

2.1 The "Spousal Shield" and Closed-Loop Conspiracy

| Role | Function |

|------|----------|

| Judge Dykes | Provided judicial authority - the "stamp" of the state |

| Mrs. Bock | "Shadow clerk" - the "hand of the fraud" |

By employing his wife as unofficial clerk, Judge Dykes:

Eliminated independent oversight
Removed neutral witnesses
Prevented objections to irregularities
Created unverified records

2.2 The "Holiday Raid" Strategy

Table 1: Operational Advantages

| Variable | Standard Session | Holiday Raid |

|----------|------------------|--------------|

| Staffing | Full support | Zero independent staff |

| Public Access | Open | Closed/Restricted |

| Record Security | Monitored | Unsecured |

| Pace | Slow, procedural | Rapid, unchecked |

2.3 Geodetic Displacement

Papa Winikerei's land: Mahia (East Coast)
Order processed: Mercer (Waikato) - 300km away
Purpose: Jurisdictional arbitrage to prevent discovery

3. The Winikerei Case: A Timeline of Disinheritance

3.1 Pre-Fraud State (Pre-1947)

Assets legally vested in Papa Winikerei lineage
Clear title with standard succession rights
Economic and cultural capital intact

3.2 The Act of Severance (January 31, 1947)

Minute Book Entry: 30 Mercer MB 141
Effect: Legal guillotine severing heirs from land
Nature: "Ghost record" - fabrication with no actual hearing

3.3 Era of Stasis and "Abandonment" (1947-c.1960)

Winikerei heirs unaware of Mercer order
State classified land as "abandoned"
Manufactured silence used to justify alienation

3.4 The Fulton Transfer: First Laundering (c.1960-2017)

Duration: ~57 years
Role: "Proxies for the conspiracy"
Benefits: Grazing rights, lease income, capital appreciation
Function: Dam holding back rightful owners

3.5 The Creswell Transfer: Second Laundering (2017)

New Owner: Isobel Creswell
Effect: Deepened chain of title
Legal Impact: Created new hurdle - now fighting private citizen

3.6 The Trust Transfer: Institutional Capture (April 5, 2024)

New Owner: Tātau Tātau o Te Wairoa Trust
Effect: Asset moved from private to corporate
Purpose: "Wash" the title of criminal history
Result: Asset "bunkered" behind Treaty jurisprudence

4. The Kiriona Accumulation: Timeline of Fraudulent Enrichment

4.1 The Mechanism: Collusion

Kiriona family identified as "compliant faction"
Provided whakapapa for manipulation ("data laundering")
Received stolen land titles in exchange

4.2 Geography of Theft

Three primary zones of fraudulent accumulation:

Poroutawhao
Maungakōtukutuku
Waikanae 1

4.3 Retrospective Falsification (1880s)

1880 Native Land Court awards to Kiriona Whamaro also challenged
Suggests "recursive fraud" - multi-generational strategy
1947 was "maintenance upgrade" to existing scheme

4.4 Modern Legacy

Family continues to derive income from stolen lands
Projects false "cultural authority" based on fraudulent holdings
Current Treaty claims may be "continuation of conspiracy"

5. Financial and Legal Consequences

5.1 Fruit of the Poisonous Tree

The Core Argument:

1947 transfer (30 Mercer MB 141) was forgery - criminal act
Therefore void ab initio (from the beginning)
Māori Land Court never legally alienated the land

The Ripple Effect:

Fulton family never obtained valid title
Creswell family never obtained valid title
Tātau Tātau Trust does not hold valid title
Land technically still belongs to Papa Winikerei estate

5.2 The Economics of Delay (Case CJ 2016/26)

| Year | Status | Financial Impact |

|------|--------|------------------|

| 2016 | Filed | Application submitted |

| 2017-2023 | Stalled | Beneficiaries collect income |

| 2024 | Outstanding | 8+ years without resolution |

Every year of delay:

Another year beneficiaries collect income
Another year Winikerei heirs denied inheritance
State becomes "accessory after the fact"

5.3 Sociological Cost

The fraud created a "false hierarchy":

Kiriona/compliant factions: Elevated to wealth and influence
Winikerei/independent owners: Stripped of economic base
Current leaders may derive status from historical crimes

6. Conclusion: The Imperative for Restitution

The Asset Flow Summary

Origin: Criminal intent to consolidate titles
Vector: Dykes-Bock "Holiday Raid" (Jan 31, 1947)
Divergence: Theft of Winikerei assets → Kiriona enrichment
Laundering: Fultons → Creswells → Tātau Tātau Trust

Required Remedial Actions

Voiding of Orders: 30 Mercer MB 141 declared void ab initio
Title Extinguishment: Creswell and Trust titles extinguished
Restitution: Physical land returned to Winikerei lineage
Reparations: State pays compound economic loss (77 years)

The Winikerei case is not closed; it is a crime scene that remains active to this day.
