A landlord involved in the death of his tenant says he drove off in fear after being attacked, not realising the man was hanging onto his car for about 100 metres.
Christchurch man Chandra Phal told Stuff he arrived at his rental property on Bevington St, Avonhead, on Saturday to take photos for a Facebook advertisement after serving the tenants a 90-day eviction notice.
When he arrived, one of the tenants, Anthony Robinson, was outside mowing the front lawn.
Phal said he sat in his car for about 10 minutes texting potential new tenants while he waited for Robinson to go inside so he could take the photographs.
