In January 2008 Scottish woman Karen Aim was beaten to death while she was visiting Taupō on a trip around New Zealand.
The 26-year-old was murdered in the street by a local teenager who had been vandalising a nearby school with a baseball bat.
He then used the weapon to murder the innocent woman.
Jahche Broughton was jailed for life and has been denied parole a number of times.
In this episode of A Moment In Crime host and senior journalist Anna Leask goes back to the day Karen died, speaking to the person who found her and raising the alarm.
You'll also hear in-depth coverage of the court case and parole hearings of Karen's teen killer.
A woman attacked by Broughton a week before the murder also spoke to Leask.
This episode outlines violent and sexual offending and is suitable for a mature audience.
