'Puppet master' double murders: Axe killer guilty of odd revenge plots (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jurors took three hours today to find an Auckland man guilty of murdering a soon-to-be-pensioner couple in a bizarre revenge plot home invasion, as well as an unrealised plot to kill his landlord over similarly minor grievances. Prosecutors had described Lok Fung Lorrence Li, 29, as the mastermind behind the November 2023 killings of North Shore Hospital surgical suite nurse Fuk-Fu Joseph Kwok, 66, and his wife, 67-year-old Mei Han Chong. Co-defendant Shu Man Poon, 45, pleaded guilty to both plo
'Rid the property of demons': Arsonist tenant destroyed rental (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Parihaka O’Connor burned down the rental home he was living in while experiencing methamphetamine-induced psychosis. A tenant who was in the process of being evicted from his West Auckland home removed his belongings, then splashed petrol throughout the building and set it alight.

The cellmate, 46-year-old Robert Fitzp

A 56-year-old’s sexual advances towards an Auckland teen with psychiatric issues are believed to have been the impetus for a fatal knife attack in an Epsom motel room. The older man died after suffering 17 stab and cut wounds. Now, after several years of delays because of the defendant’s mental health issues, a High Court at Auckland judge has been tasked with deciding if the killing amounted to self-defence or lashing out in anger. Emergency responders encountered a gruesome scene inside the Of
Double-murder case: Court cleared amid outbursts, victims named (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A judge cleared a court today after loud outbursts punctuated a brief hearing in which a man denied killing two people in Wattle Downs. The defendant, a 30-year-old from Drury, has interim name suppression. However, suppression has lapsed for the two people who died: Keagan Desmond Bell and Elaine Beatrice Rudolph. An elderly man yelled abuse at the defendant as he entered the dock this morning for his first appearance in the High Court at Auckland. A woman next to the man in the courtroom galle
