New Zealand's Prison House Confessions

David tamehery was charged with the double homicide of erban hoglen and hidy pakenon. It marked only the third time in new zealand legal history that police chose to proceed with a murder charge without any bodies or a crime scene. The prosecution relied mostly on five key witnesses. David tameheri's trial commenced in october 19 90, a year and a half after his alleged victims disappeared. If they wanted to testify against tameheri, they were free to do so, but it wouldn't result in shorter sentences for themselves.
