The Bayly case : [unique in famous trials]

documentary heritage
  • Kupu whakaahua

    "Pathology, physics, ballistics, and photography, plus perseverance and brilliant detection effort, all contributed to the vast accumulation of circumstantial evidence that sent William Alfred Bayly, a 28-year-old farmer of Ruawaro, near Huntly, in the Waikato district, to the scaffold in 1934 for the brutal murder of his neighbours, 47-year-old Samuel Pender Lakey and his wife Christabel."--Encyclopedia of New Zealand online.
