Black Power member arrested

A Waikato Black Power member who tattooed "Property of Leon'' across the face of his former partner, whom he later murdered, has been arrested.

Police arrested Leon Colin Wilson, 42, at a Huntly address overnight.

He'd breached his parole conditions and was sought by police, who yesterday warned he could be in the upper North Island.

Wilson stabbed Leonie Newman to death in 1995 and was sentenced to life in jail with a minimum of 10 years before he was eligible for parole.
