True New Zealand Crime Stories

A collection of five local dramas: some shocking, some intriguing, but all true events that took place right here in New Zealand between 1977 and 2009. "How to Murder Your Wife" - A black comedy recounting the 1977 murder by 65-year-old Alf Benning of his overbearing wife Betty, in Wellington. "The Monster of Mangatiti" - A docu-drama of a young 19-year-old girl whose idyllic paradise in remote New Zealand quickly turned into a nightmare. "Operation Venus & Mars" - The bizarre and twisted reality of a young Palmerston North detective who was apparently being targeted by the 'Satanic Avenger'. "Siege" - The account of how a lone gunman put a suburban city under siege in 2009. "Bloodlines" - The story of a highly respected psychologist who systematically poisoned his wife over several months in 2001.
