From Morning Report, 7:12 am on 28 July 2021

Police killer Eli Epiha will be sentenced in October for shooting two officers - one fatally - in Auckland last June.

Epiha had already admitted murdering constable Matthew Hunt and yesterday a jury found him guilty of the attempted murder of officer David Goldfinch.

After a two week trial and 10 hours of deliberations, the jury also found getaway driver Natalie Bracken guilty of helping Epiha avoid arrest.

Katie Todd has been covering the trial, and filed this report.
