A Tauranga police dog handler told a court he was “shattered” by the senseless and deliberate killing of his dog by a fugitive on the run. Tauranga labourer Tairyn Murphy, 27, was jailed yesterday for 14 months for killing Constable Kayne Cording’s dog Enzo without lawful excuse. Judge Christopher Harding also sentenced Murphy in Tauranga District Court to one month in jail for resisting arrest. That term is to be served concurrently. On leaving the dock, Murphy smiled and waved to supporters calling out “love you cuz”.  Judge Harding said the deliberate drowning of three-year-old Enzo during a manhunt in the lower Kaimai Range in August had had a significant effect not only on the dog’s handler, but on the officer’s wife and young children as well as on Western Bay of Plenty police staff.
