The whānau of a teenager tortured and hanged in south Auckland two years ago have spoken of their pain and grief in court.

Dimetrius Pairama's body was found in a drum out the back of a derelict house in Māngere in July 2018.

Today, the pair responsible for her death were both jailed for at least 19 years for their role in one of the most horrific murders this country has ever seen.

RNZ court reporter Anneke Smith filed this story.
