Two people have been found guilty of murdering Christchurch mother Angela Blackmoore 28 years ago.
Former debt collector David Hawken, 50, and ex-stripper Rebecca Wright-Meldrum, 51, were on trial in the High Court at Christchurch after denying murdering Angela Blackmoore on August 17, 1995.
In 2019, police issued a $100,000 reward for information regarding the death of Angela Blackmore which led to the confession of Jeremy Powell who was sentenced for at least 10 years in 2020 for Blackmoore's murder.
Crime Reporter Sam Sherwood told Heather Du Plessis Allan that the confession was "crucial to the crown case".
