A New Caledonian court has sentenced a 26 year old man to thirty years in jail for the killing of a woman three years ago.
Joseph Pobatty was found guilty of killing Danielle Belloguet with a single gun shot as she was on her daily morning run in Touho on the main island's east coast.
Pobatty was handed over to the police by his Kanak tribe three weeks after the fifty year old woman was found dead.
He said he had acted as a Kanak warrior to avenge oppression by the whites.
During remand, Pobatty wrote in letters found in his cell that he wanted to kill all the whites to avenge the Kanak people.
