A New Zealand man is sentenced to one year in prison for threatening to kill Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. Prosecutors say Michael Cruickshank sent 88 lengthy emails to government officials in 2019 and 2020.
Michael Cruickshank stands outside the North Shore District Court in Auckland, New Zealand, on May 20, 2020. Cruikshank on Thursday, March 31, 2022, was sentenced to one year in prison for threatening to kill Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.
WELLINGTON, New Zealand — A New Zealand man on Thursday was sentenced to one year in prison for threatening to kill Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. In one email, Cruickshank threatened to blow Ardern’s head off and in another said he would “personally wipe you off this f------ planet,”. He copied one of the emails to lawmaker Andrew Little, who is now the health minister.
Judge Brooke Gibson said Cruickshank wouldn’t be a good candidate for home detention. The judge cited reports prepared for the sentencing hearing which indicated Cruickshank had been angry for decades with agencies after suffering an accident in 1995 and being unsatisfied with the subsequent support he got.
