Jay Lingman found guilty of murdering Denver Chance
The Crown argued the Mr Lingman shot Mr Chance three times in the head from behind, before using a chainsaw to cut the body to fit it in a chest freezer. The defence case was that both men were drug dealers, and Mr Lingman was acting in self-defence after Mr Chance threatened him with a shotgun. Today after 24 hours the jury returned an unanimous verdict. Max Towle speaks to RNZ's Katie Todd.
