Tamihere’s 1990 conviction came despite no bodies being found, and was based on a Crown argument that 21 year old Heidi and 23 year old Urban were murdered at Crosbie’s Clearing, near Thames on Saturday 8 April 1989, and that Tamihere had stolen Urban Hoglin’s watch from the body and given it to his ten year old son.

In the two decades since the conviction, much new evidence has emerged, including the discovery of Hoglin’s body in 1991, 73km from where police said he died, and still wearing his watch.

Wow a mere year after the man’s conviction for murder and this new evidence was not enough to reopen the case.

If the watch was the prosecutions big ticket physical evidence linking the suspect to the murder I think they would open the case. But then lawyers are a bit sticky about being embarrassed.

You got it wrong you twits!!!
