    Great tale, shows what gorge does to one’s logical thinking.
    I’ve never heard of Mangamahu before now even though I’ve been through that area a few times.
    Thank you. Looking forward to seeing more.

    Hi Ryan, I’ve been an avid listener of your “Guilt” podcasts for a couple of years now, so it’s nice to put ‘a face to the voice’

    Then there was the 1917 Bennier murder which took place at Ngaturi in the Mangamahu valley. Frank Bennier murdered his wife and took a knife to his sister-in-law. there is a book about it called "No Epitaph" by Felicity Campbell.

    There was a bizarre murder of two elderly sisters who belonged to the Salvation Army in Wairoa, Hawkes Bay in 1942.On 21 August the elderly sisters Rosamund and Annie Smyth were found beaten to death in their Wairoa home; the crime had occurred about 13 days earlier. It was established that the murder weapons were an axe and a poker. There were a number of possible suspects but no one was ever convicted.
    In 1962 a dying Leo Silvester Hannan confessed to killing the Smyth sisters, and also an old man named Herbert Brunton at Wairoa in December 1948; Brunton had also been killed with an axe.

    Came up randomly on my timeline, I'd been watching comedians but OMGoodness. I was laughing so much and thought your deadpan delivery brilliant. Bloody hell it's not comedy, is it ?
    I just didn't believe the story was anything but a funny yarn.
    PS the laughing audio didn't help.
