The Murder Of Tania Furlan [True Crime Documentary] Tania Furlan was discovered beaten to death in her Howick house in July 1996. H her six-week-old daughter, Tiffany, had gone missing but was subsequently discovered abandoned outside the Royal Oak Baptist Church, 18 kilometers distant from the family home. Lewis, the murderer, was thought to have planned to kidnap Tania and hold her for ransom in order to extract money from her husband. Lewis has denied killing Tania, and the matter will not go to trial. Lewis's lawyer, David Jones, has expressed doubts about whether Lewis was guilty or framed, but police have stated that they are confident Lewis was the murderer. A police witness, whose name has been withheld, said earlier this year during a depositions hearing that Lewis confessed to the murder, claiming he had pretended to be a delivery guy. Tania allowed him in, and he pulled out a hammer and instructed her to lie down on the floor. He reportedly punched her with the intention of simply knocking her unconscious, but realized he had struck her too hard. He then struck her many times more. Because the evidence in this case will never be heard, there may be concerns about Lewis' culpability, but a study into Lewis' past indicates a proclivity for serious criminal behavior. On the afternoon of September 23, 1997, Christopher John Lewis was found dead in his cell by Auckland Mt Eden prison staff. Lewis, 32, had electrocuted himself with television aerial cables. Few New Zealanders will be saddened by his death. Lewis was being held on remand while awaiting trial for the murder of Tania Furlan. the murder of tania furlan,furlan,tania,killed,murder,murdered,prison,new zealand,documentary now,documentary channel,crime documentary,documentary killer,documentary mystery,the murders of tania furlan,tania furlan,real crime documentary,real crime,murders of tania furlan,crime documentary 2021,tania furlan real crime,true crime,true crime daily
