Sam Uffindell was asked to leave prestigious private school Kings College after taking part in a group attack on a fellow student when he was 16
New Zealand’s opposition National party is standing by its newest MP, Sam Uffindell, after revelations he was asked to leave from a prestigious high school more than two decades ago for viciously beating a younger student.
Uffindell, 38, was elected to parliament in a June byelection for the safe seat of Tauranga.
