THE FOXTON MURDER An Unsolved New Zealand Murder

Softcover. Somebody terminated the life of an elderly woman living alone in Foxton, after entering her bedroom late one night in January, 1981. A local youth, Darrell Wilson, was arrested and charged on two counts, burglary and murder. It was not until a year later that the concept of a book emerged to the author, based on an instinctive feeling that the police inquiries and legal deliberations of this case might provide some insight into the processes of justice in New Zealand. This document is an objective reproduction of one murder inquiry, but one which mirrors numerous other trials of varying importance throughout the country. It raises many questions, questions which should not be answered by one person alone, the writer. By legal definitions this murder remains unsolved. Lorna Robinson is dead; her murderer walks free. Illus. + Maps, Appendices, References. 185pp. trade size softcover. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. Vg.
