Former World Champion and Olympian Rohan Dennis has delivered a broadside on social media over what he believes is a 'false narrative' created by journalists following his wife Melissa Hoskins' death in 2023.
Hoskins died after being struck by a vehicle driven by Dennis on December 30, 2023. He was deemed not criminally responsible for her death, but pleaded guilty in May 2025 to an aggravated charge of creating a likelihood of harm and was given a 17-month suspended sentence along with a five-year driving ban. Dennis had accepted the offer to enter into a two-year good behaviour bond in the sum of $100 as part of the suspended sentence.
