Seeing the first case and now knowing about how wild it got till today is kind of crazy. The police convicted Teina Pora at the time because his Auntie said he found a baseball bat so it must have been them, her and 3 others were basically paid $5000 each to testify against him and he was found guilty of rape and murder. He finally got the chance to appeal it in Londan where they found him not guilty and the NZ govt quashed his convections and issued a full govt apology and awarded him (after appealing the amount for inflation) $3,509,048. Malcolm Rewa was the real culprit and in 2019 was sentenced to life in prison for the murder and offending against 25 other women, his minimum parole period is 22 years and has tried to appeal twice unsuccessfully.
What a gem ! Thanks for your uploads. Can't get enough of these old Crimewatch shows. Wish they had all the old eps. available.
I love the piece on LSD, the 90's in NZ was the 60's everywhere else in the world.
The exact broadcast date for Crimewatch was Tuesday 19 May 1992 (at 8.30pm).
“The New Zealand accent” was much closer to their mother country Britain’s accent back then.
Ian Johnstone was originally from the UK, even though he had been in NZ for thirty years when this was made - the others sound as Kiwi then as now.
Terence Hendry is my grandads brother. Still missing til this day
Susan Burdett , they charged the wrong man , then arrested the right man only a few years back
Thanks for the upload! Have you got anymore episodes of this show? It's interesting seeing the flashbacks.
What an interesting rarity of New Zealander television!

Before Police 10-7
The days when crims had conscience, not many victims were killed, or hurt😣
Joseph Thompson ( the serial rapist ) was the criminal in the last case.
He's been out for years
5 dollars worth of petrol.
That would be about $20 worth of petrol today
