Wainuiomata mākutu lifting
In October 2007, 22-year-old Janet Moses died and a 14-year-old female relation was injured during a mākutu lifting (or exorcism) in the Wellington, New Zealand suburb of Wainuiomata. In 2009 nine members of Moses' extended family, all siblings of her mother or their spouses, were charged in relation to the event, one uncle and four aunts were subsequently found guilty of drowning Moses.
The mākutu lifting and subsequent trial were notable for bringing makutu into the public consciousness in New Zealand; and the large number of independent people who stepped forward to distance makutu lifting as they knew it from the events in this case. Unprecedented media attention was paid to mākutu, mākutu lifting and Māori religion.
==Mākutu==
Mākutu is a Māori language word which can be either a noun or a verb depending on context, it is translated into English by church missionaries as curse, witchcraft〔(http://www.nzetc.org/tm/scholarly/tei-BudAbor-t1-body-d1-d1-d7.html )〕 or sorcery.〔(http://www.maoridictionary.co.nz/index.cfm?dictionaryKeywords=makutu )〕 In modern orthography mākutu is written with a macron where technically possible, but in historical sources and sometimes in modern sources (such as newspapers) with limited technical capabilities it is written without the macron.
Historically the tohunga involved in lifting mākutu were suppressed by the Tohunga Suppression Act 1907, which was repealed in 1962.
