Cynric Temple-Camp is one of New Zealand's top pathologists - and he has just published his third book about his work. The Final Diagnosis is a collection of stranger-than-fiction stories of death, disease and murder - as well as Temple-Camp sharing new perspectives on high-profile cases, including the disappearance of Ben Smart and Olivia Hope and the trial of Mark Lundy. A Moment In Crime host Anna Leask spoke with Temple-Camp about the book, his career and why he is sure beyond reasonable doubt that Lundy is guilty.  Episodes of A Moment In Crime - written and hosted by Leask - usually focus on old cases, cold cases or recent cases of national and international significance involving Kiwi offenders or victims. But this episode comes from the other side of the cordon - from a person often charged with determining how and why a person died and, who is responsible. To read more about Temple-Camp, the Lundy case and other crimes covered by Leask for the Herald, click here. Episodes of A Moment In Crime are usually released monthly and, so far, Leask has covered more than 55 cases including the murders of Grace Millane, Scott Guy, Austin Hemmings, Carmen Thomas, Karen Aim; the deaths of the Kahui Twins, the Edgeware Rd murders, the Bain family murders, the Christchurch House of Horrors and the massacres at Raurimu and Aramoana. Last year, a three-part special covered the case of rich lister and philanthropist James Wallace who was convicted of sexually assaulting three men and was jailed and had his knighthood stripped from him as a result. A Moment In Crime has topped the overall and true crime charts on numerous occasions, and has listeners in more than 80 countries. The podcast was a finalist at the 2024 NZ Radio & Podcast Awards and won a silver award in the true crime category at the inaugural New Zealand Podcast Awards in 2021.

On November 13, 1990, gunman David Gray started the deadliest mass shooting in New Zealand's history for 29 years. It was 2 days of hell in the tiny village of Aramoana.

Survivors of our biggest national disasters say new guidelines will better supporting families in the wake of future tragedies. The new "Public Service Commission Model Standards" - to be released at parliament today - addresses what survivors say have been consistent shortcomings in the treatment by government agencies of those most closely affected by disaster. The standards were co-authored by the Pike River Families Group after consulting with families of survivors caught up with events such as the earthquake and mosque shootings in Christchurch, the Aramoana massacre, the Cave Creek platform collapse and the Whakaari White Island eruption. Sonya Rockhouse, who lost her son Ben in the Pike River mine explosion 12 years ago, spoke to Corin Dann.

On the night of November 13, 1990, the small seaside town of Aramoana, New Zealand would be shaken to its core. After an argument over a dog on his property, David Gray shot and killed his neighbor, Garry Holden. Gray then shot at Holden's daughters, killing two. Gray set fire to the Holden house with the bodies of the two girls inside. He then shot at a family who stopped to help, killing four, including two six year old boys. His rampage continued through the night. By the next morning, he had barricaded himself inside a house. He ate and soon fell asleep. He had killed 13 people, including four children and a police officer. Almost 24 hours after his rampage began, Gray was found and a shootout ensued. Once out of ammunition, Gray came out and taunted police, telling them to kill him. He was shot five times but survived. He eventually died on his way to the hospital. This was New Zealand's largest mass murder in history until 2019. The events in Aramoana sparked swift changes to New Zealand's firearms legislation, which tightened the purchases of military grade semi-automatic firearms in 1992. 

On the 13th November 1990, the small seaside township of Aramoana, near Dunedin, was the scene of what was then the deadliest mass murder in New Zealand history.David Gray, a 33-year-old unemployed Aramoana resident, went on a rampage following a verbal dispute with a neighbour. What followed would change the town forever and force a re-examination of gun laws in New Zealand.Julie Jay (@juliejaycomedy) talks to the brilliant @peterflanagancomedy.

This podcast is a big change from the lighthearted cover we normally go for. Ayla tells Andi about the Aramoana shooting in 1990 done by David Gray. Leading up to the shooting, the loss of his mother impacted Gray greatly and he started to spend more and more time alone. One day, Gray felt he was overcharged a bank fee and so came home angry. Here he had a run in with his neighbour, Garry Holden. Gray then collected a gun from inside his house before shooting Holden multiple times, killing him. He went into Holden's property after seeing his three girls, shooting all three and killing two. Chiquita Holden escaped before the house went up in flames, going to another neighbour who called 111. The community saw the house fire and so went to help put it out, in return being shot at by Gray. 13 people in total lost their lives including four children, with two more children and a police officer being critically injured. David was shot and injured by the Armed Offenders Squad when exiting a house and died in an ambulance on the way to the hospital. Support the showListener discretion is advised, our content will not be for everyone.Music by Kyle Hsieh

Whenever I see something like that awful school shooting in the United States yesterday, I always think back to March 15 in Christchurch. And, every time, it still staggers me that it actually happened here. It wasn't the first time in New Zealand, of course. We've had Aramoana and there was also Stanley Graham killing eight people on the West Coast in 1941 – and that's just a few.  But we have never, thank goodness, had someone go into a school or onto a university campus and open fire on as many people as possible. I'm not saying that would be any worse or more tragic than the mosque shootings – March 15 was horrific.   But as details started coming through yesterday about what happened in Texas, with this 18-year-old going on the rampage at a local primary school and killing at least 18 people – I said to a colleague here at work that it amazes me something like that hasn't happened here in New Zealand. When I say something like that, I'm talking about a mass shooting at a school or a university. The kind of thing that happens so regularly in the United States – there have been 27 already this year, according to one website I was looking at. But never here.  And I've been thinking about why that is. Is it because we have the best gun controls in the world? Or is it because the New Zealand psyche just doesn't make people even consider doing it? I don't know about the psyche thing because, remember a few years back when the Police announced they had discovered a teenager in Dunedin had been planning to go on the rampage at a school? He was 17 at the time and planned to shoot teachers and fellow students – but police were tipped off after he'd been online talking about blowing up a school and carrying out a shooting, and posting what the police described as "inflammatory and extreme views". And when they raided his home, they found he had a pistol-grip shotgun and a military-style semi-automatic rifle in his bedroom, and some explosive devices made from gas canisters filled with gunpowder. They also found a diagram of the school building with "prime targets" marked with an X, including staff offices, and arrows showing how he planned to move around the corridors. So, for all intents and purposes. This all happened before March 15 and, since then, we've had the gun buyback scheme and other changes to firearms laws here in New Zealand which all came about following the March 15 attacks in Christchurch. And the Government has been emphasising, hasn't it, that – unlike the United States – owning a firearm in New Zealand is a privilege, not a right. Which Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern talked a bit about on The Late Show in the United States yesterday.  And I suppose when you're in the United States and you see these shootings happening time and time again, you look at a country 12,000 kilometres away that had a mass shooting and pretty quickly started changing its gun laws and probably think we have it all sorted on the guns front. But when you're 12,000 kilometres away, you won't know about the taxi driver in Christchurch having a gun pointed at his head last Friday. When you're 12,000 kilometres away, you won't know about the seven drive-by shootings in Auckland on Tuesday night. You won't know about the shots fired at the house in New Brighton last Saturday. You won't know about the teenager shot dead outside a party in Christchurch late last year. And, from where you are in America, you'll certainly have no idea whether the people who actually live in New Zealand feel safe and are satisfied with the level of gun control here. Do our dairy owners feel safe? Probably not. Do our taxi drivers feel safe? Probably not. So, from a distance, it might look like we've done something amazing here in New Zealand with gun control – and it probably will look amazing if we compare ourselves against the United States. But have we done enough? 

Weird and wonderful species are washing up on South Island beaches - worrying locals. Visitors to Aramoana beach got a shock after finding a serpent-like Oar fish floating in the shallows. Ray's Bream have been found far from home on the shores of Otago Peninsula. And 14 Hector's dolphins have been found dead around the South Island since November. Rob Smith is a physical oceanographer and lecturer at University of Otago.

A sea monster-like fish emerging from the waves of Aramoana Beach was a shock for Dunedin beachwalkers. The giant from the deep was an Oarfish, over three metres long and sightings are rare. Fortunately there was a marine biologist nearby - Dr Bridie Allan of the University of Otago quickly identified the species. She spoke to Kim Hill.

Questions around why a creature from the deep has washed up in Otago.The 3.6 metre oarfish was found on Aramoana Beach on Monday afternoon.The species was last spotted around Dunedin in 2015.Otago University marine biologist Bridie Allan told Kate Hawkesby the fish caught the attention of everyone on the beach.She considers herself  lucky to have seen it in the flesh.The oarfish died after failed attempts to put it back to sea, and its body washed away.LISTEN ABOVE

In November 1990, thirteen people were shot and killed in the seaside village of Aramoana. Tim Ashton was a member of the anti-terrorism squad that was sent in to stop the gunman. 

This week brings the return of Tash!! Emma reads out an absolutely awful and terrifying reddit confession that really had us conflicted and Becky tells us about the Aramoana Massacre which was just horrendous. To end on a happier note we play two 911 calls that we can't decide are real or not but either way they made us chuckle.

For this, the final episode of season one, we're heading to Aramoana, a sleepy New Zealand outpost where one man has the entire town under siege for an astonishing 22 hours. We have been focusing on US mass based shootings so far in the season, however, we know mass shootings are not unique to the Unites States. And as long as there a bad people, there's always going to be a global aspect to mass shootings. So this week Sarah has challenged Katherine to a case that's from her old little sleepy neck of the woods in New Zealand. Think of this episode as an FBI ride along. We get to see how Katherine looks at a case that she's never actually seen before, And it's fascinating the salient facts that she pulls out. On November 13th 1990, an argument between two neighbours develops resulting in one neigbour entering his house and starting on what will be a 22hour siege of Aramoana leaving 13 dead and many injured. Do you think New Zealand gun laws are more robus than the US and how different are the gateway checks are preventing guns being accessed by killers like this in New Zealand? Do you know how to spot someone on the pathwat to VIOLENCE?

Some of the script for the film about the Christchurch mosque shootings has been leaked out.Newshub says it's seen the draft document, it runs to 120-odd pages...and there's a graphic reconstruction of the attack itself.We have shown the version of the script obtained by Newshub to some of the victims, who describe it as worse than the terrorist's livestream of the 2019 atrocity.Now this is being circulated around the film industry, looking for a potential buyer.Working title 'They Are Us'...it's being pitched as not so much the story of the attack, but the response to the attack.But Newshub says the draft shows the attack taking place over 17 pages, and that would come out at around 17 minutes of film.More than a dozen of the murders are depicted in graphic detail.One woman who lost both her husband and her son says the movie sounds worse than the livestream.And she thinks it would encourage others to commit similar atrocities.I dunno about that.I can't for a minute imagine why anyone would want to see it...but then morbid curiosity has driven plenty to seek out the material online.So I guess there is a market for it.And who hasn't seen a documentary about the September 11th attacks...or the film about United Flight 93?I have.Did they stir up violent intentions...not in me personally...but in others...who knows?Perhaps this project is touching a nerve for me because it's so close to home.But we've had a doco about Aramoana...13 people killed there....did that set off a wave of mass shootings...no.Perhaps the problem with this one is the timing...the indecent haste of it all.And from what Newshub's reported...the idea so far does seem to at least flirt with the idea of glamorising murder.Not my cup of tea thanks...and ultimately...people will decide for themselves whether they want to see it or not.

On Friday evening, The National Islamic Youth Association started a petition asking for a film about Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's response to 2019's Christchurch terror attack, currently titled They Are Us, to be cancelled.As of this Sunday morning, the petition has gained almost 41,000 signatures.Over the years, I've watched a lot of films based on true events. They represent stories that should be told, stories that deserve to be told, stories that mark a moment in time or of great change.Depending on the subject, these films inform and provoke, entertain and uplift, move or horrify. They can be cautionary or motivating tales, and subjective or balanced.  Quite often people have tried to stop these movies been made – and failed. This is the movie business after all.But in the case of They Are Us, I think they've got it wrong. Making this film just doesn't seem right.While it's important to remember They Are Us is still in pre-production, it has received plenty of criticism, with some calling it "insensitive", "too soon" and an example of the "white saviour" mentality. It's hard to disagree.It is insensitive to the Muslim Community, and in particular those still dealing with ongoing trauma and grief - even if the script was developed in consultation with several members of the targeted mosques.It is also too soon for this story to be told. The film Munich told the story of the Israeli government's retaliation against the Palestine Liberation Organisation after the Munich massacre at the 1972 Summer Olympics. It was released in 2005. 22 July told the story of the 2011 Norway attack by Anders Berivik. It was released in 2018. Hotel Mumbai told the story of a terrorist attack in India in 2008. It was released in 2018. And Out of the Blue, told the story of the tragic Aramoana massacre in 1990. It was released in 2006. That's gaps of 33 years, 7 years, 10 years and 16 years. The Christchurch terrorist attack happened in 2019.But I don't get the feeling this film is being made for us. I think it's been made for an international audience fascinated by our Prime Minister. And that brings me to the angle the film is taking. It's not so much about the attack as the response to the attack. It's apparently an inspirational story about our leader's response to the tragic events, and the remarkable achievements of her government and citizens to rally behind a message of compassion and a ban on assault weapons.I hope no one asks us how that ban is working out? Or if this was a case of too little too late? Or if it has New Zealand changed for the better and how?We're still working all this out. It's pre-emptive and embarrassing to be patting ourselves on the back just yet.I would have thought the vast, vast majority of New Zealanders were just extras in the story – not the heroes. The heroes were those inside the mosque; the victims and the survivors.The Prime Minister has said “There are plenty of stories from March 15 that could be told, but I don't consider mine to be one of them.” Well said.The story of the Christchurch attacks will be told at some point – but hopefully not like this.

I'm not a fortune teller. I don't have a five-year plan. I can't tell you what I'll eat for dinner tonight, let alone anything I'll be doing in two years' time.  But I can tell you right now with a very strong degree of confidence I will not be paying $21 to go to They Are Us, the film that apparently focuses on Jacinda Ardern's response to the Christchurch massacre.    I have nothing personal against the filmmaker. Andrew Niccol has actually written or directed two of my all-time favourite films. I think The Truman Show is genius. I love Gattaca.  They Are Us, on the other hand, makes me squirm.  It's not that I'm fundamentally opposed to a film about the events in Christchurch. I actually saw it as an inevitability. After all, we have a film about Aramoana. There's a Hollywood film about the Anders Breivik massacre in Norway.  But if the production of this film had actually considered the meaning behind its title, They Are Us, we wouldn't have seen so many people affected by the massacre respond in disgust. There is a more sensitive and tasteful way to go about these things. The filmmakers say they've sought scripting input from a few of those affected, but clearly many of those in what is a pretty small Muslim community here have been caught completely by surprise. It takes a lot of nerve to call a film ‘They Are Us' when you clearly haven't consulted sufficiently with the ‘They' you're talking about.   There's another thing. They Are Us. If the filmmakers believed those words, there's no way Jacinda Ardern would be the central character.   Here's a terrible tragedy committed by a white supremacist. Instead of focusing on the authorities' limited interest in white supremacy in the lead up to the massacre, instead of focusing on those who lost their lives, or the heroics of those in the mosque who tried to stop the gunman, we focus on Jacinda Ardern.    She did a good job in the heat of the crisis. But I'm sorry, she isn't the hero of this story. And as comforting as she might have been to the survivors and victims of the shootings and to the New Zealand public at large, her actions in those days could never have been enough to  heal the pain of those who clearly had been let down grievously by the wider government she represents.   You can just imagine the scene now: the actress Rose Byrne, standing alone, an exhausted and broken expression on her face, staring into a mirror. The music builds... orchestral strings. She looks down and picks up a simple scarf, wrapping it around her head.  ‘What are you doing?' asks one her advisors.   ‘They are us.' Says Jacinda Ardern. Eurgh.    Honestly, that whole ‘They Are Us' phrase really bothers me. I know many disagree with me and I'm not gonna' fight the fight again, but if we really meant ‘They Are Us,' the Crusaders would have changed their name. If we really meant ‘They Are Us,' then we might not have planned massacre anniversary commemorations, knowing that most Muslims don't mark anniversaries.   If they were us then we wouldn't us the word ‘They' at all.   But here's an easy one. An opportunity to live up to those words in a small way. If the Muslim community in Christchurch, the survivors of the attacks and the families of those who died, don't support this film, then They Are Us. I'll save my $21. LISTEN ABOVE

Ian Taylor says he could have ended up a washed-up rock singer if it wasn't for a meeting in 1989, which led him down the path to found his business Animation Research 30 years ago.That meeting was with Otago University professor Geoff Wyvill who told Taylor the future was about going digital."I had no idea what he was talking about."Wyvill gave Taylor his four top students and together they created a company that has revolutionised the viewing of golf, cricket, yachting, motor sport and baseball with 3D, data-driven graphics over live pictures from the Virtual Eye sports division."I wouldn't be here today if I hadn't met Geoff, this would never have happened."Taylor attributes the team behind him for being made a Knight Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit and recognised for his services to broadcasting, business and the community."This would never have happened without those people."Taylor, who describes himself as a story-teller, shared the good news with his team on Wednesday and says he wanted them to hear it from him first."It is just wonderful."He will celebrate with a traditional BBQ, which he holds every New Year with friends and family in Wanaka. "We will just do what we did last year."Taylor mulled over whether he wanted to be called "Sir" but said it came with accepting the honour."If you are going to say yes you have to respect the honour that it is. I'm very honoured to accept it."But he says he has been Ian for the past 70 years and that's not likely to change."I imagine I will get a ribbing for a few weeks then it will go back to Ian."Taylor was born in Northland's Kaeo in a house without power and brought up in the East Coast Raupunga community of Ngāti Kahungunu and Ngapuhi descent.His path to success was far from straight-forward.Taylor dropped out of a business degree at Victoria University in 1968 to join rock band Kal-Q-Lated Risk.After four years with the band and a stint of compulsory army training at Waiouru, the jobless Taylor was drawn back to Dunedin. "When I had been in the Risk, we travelled all over the country and the best place we played in was Dunedin — the Ag Hall and Ocean Beach Hotel."Taylor worked as a forklift driver at Speights Brewery. then as a presenter on the children's TV programme Play School while completing a law degree at Otago University. He was about to become a lawyer when he was offered a full-time job as a presenter on the children's magazine programme Spot On.Taylor worked as a presenter, producer, writer and director for TVNZ between 1977 and 1989. He produced documentaries including Pieces of Eight, the inside story of the New Zealand Rowing Eight at the 1984 Olympic Games; Aramoana, a documentary told by those directly involved in the David Gray shootings; and Innocent Until, the inside story of the defence team for David Bain at his first trial.In 1989 Taylor was offered a current affairs job in Wellington but couldn't bring himself to leave Dunedin. Instead, he formed Taylormade Productions, making regional television commercials and corporate videos.When TVNZ closed its Dunedin studios, Taylor bought them with a $500,000 bank loan and made children's television shows.Animation Research was founded when Taylor met Wyvill who ran the Computer Science Department and computer graphics laboratory at Otago University.Taylormade Productions formed Animation Research with the university in one of the first attempts to turn academic intellectual property into a commercial activity, and then later Taylormade bought all the university shares.The original students, Craig McNaughton, Paul Sharp and Stu Smith, are still working at Animation Research 30 years later.Its first TV advertising images included the Bluebird water-skiing penguin, seagulls on a Cook Strait fast ferry, and gannets forming a koru.This year the business had to tackle the issue of not being able to travel to sports tournaments and can now cover sport remotely from Duned...

ARAMOANA, OTAGO. By 8pm on the 13th of November 1990, Police were informed that there was an active shooting situation in Aramoana. The first to respond to the calls was Sergeant Stewart Guthrie of the Port Chalmers Police Station, who was the only officer on duty that day. As Stewart sped out to Aramoana he came across another officer, he collected Constable Russell Anderson before continuing the journey out to Aramoana.

ARAMOANA, OTAGO. 1990 was a special year for the citizens of New Zealand. It was Aotearoa's sesquicentenary, NZ's 150th year and local governments had put on events and activities to celebrate the occasion. By the 13th of November 1990, the Sesqui celebrations were wrapping up and many of the Aramoana residents were in the nearby town of Port Chalmers enjoying what remained of the Sesqui. Those who remained in the tiny seaside village of Aramoana on the 13th of November were not prepared for what was to unfold. No one could have predicted that such a lovely, warm Spring day would become Aramoana's darkest day, the day David Gray went on his rampage, the day of the dawn of ‘The Aramoana Massacre'.

ARAMOANA, OTAGO. Located 27km north of Dunedin, tucked away at the mouth of the Otago Harbour in the South Island of New Zealand, you will find the small seaside village of Aramoana. The village which translates to ‘pathway to the sea' is made up of approximately 260 residents who affectionately refer to it as ‘The Spit'. The village is truly remote with no street lights, shops, hotels or a police station. A vast array of wildlife also populate the area as Aramoana and its beach provide an important feeding ground for black swans, spur-winged plovers, banded dotterels, white-faced herons, kingfishers, and yellow eyed penguins. By the late 20th century, Aramoana was home to all kinds of people, many were ‘townies' just trying to get away from ‘the big smoke', some were families just looking for a quiet, peaceful place to raise their children, and others were folk just looking for that ‘small, country town' feeling.  Nevertheless the ‘pathway to the sea' will be forever synonymous with one man who is more complicated to categorize, an enigma who carried out one of New Zealand's most grotesque and calamitous massacres. The crimes committed those Spring days in November 1990 are forever remembered as ‘The Aramoana Massacre'. Visit www.truecrimenz.com for more information on this case including sources and credits.

Anti-terror bollards are being installed along one of Christchurch's busiest bar and restaurant areas.Eighteen months after the worst terror attack on New Zealand soil, where 51 people were shot dead at two city mosques, the local authority has moved to protect drinkers and diners along Oxford Tce, on the banks of the Avon River.Canterbury police raised concerns about the "potential risk" that vehicles driving through the area pose to "the groups of people who congregate at night outside the bars on Oxford Terrace".Christchurch City Council said the primary purpose of the $550,000 project was to control permitted access to Oxford Tce, south of Hereford St, and City Mall."Since the creation of the southbound shared zone on Oxford Tce, issues have arisen with vehicles entering the mall outside of the permitted times, driving in the wrong direction and parking illegally," the council said.A city council source told the Star this year terrorist attacks had been part of the discussions over the benefits of installing the bollards.The source also said the terrorist attack in the French city of Nice in 2016 had been factored in.In that attack, a truck ploughed into a large crowd watching a fireworks display as part of Bastille Day celebrations, killing 86 people.Christchurch developer Antony Gough, who is behind the Oxford Terrace precinct development, welcomed the move, after advocating for bollards for a couple of years.Around midnight at the weekends, there can be thousands of people along Oxford Terrace."There are the occasional nutters in town," he told Canterbury Mornings with Chris Lynch."I think it's a great idea … What goes on late at night sometimes leaves us shuddering."Former police anti-terrorist squad leader Mike Kyne, who led the team that found and mortally wounded Aramoana gunman David Gray, supported putting bollards in.The March 15 mosque attacks showed Christchurch is not immune to terror attacks."If the police have identified that area as being an area of interest where you could have a lot of damage done by a person in a car, a truck or whatever then, yeah, it's a good idea because there are more and more people starting to gather in that area with the new restaurants," he said."We're an international city and as a consequence there's a pragmatic realisation that we can be subject to those sorts of things and we can be subject to copycats."Installation of the automated bollards will involve removal of a small section of the tram track base, delaying the work's start until May next year to "suit the operational requirements of the tram".The retractable bollards will automatically allow access for approved vehicles.Emergency services organisations and the council's transport unit would be able to operate the bollards.Brenton Harrison Tarrant, 29, was sentenced at the High Court in Christchurch last month to life in prison without parole after admitting he was the mass murderer behind the March 15, 2019 mosque shootings.Over his four-day sentencing hearing at the city's Justice Precinct, just 100m from Oxford Tce, authorities installed temporary security barricades around the courthouse.They were removed after the Australian killer was sent back to Auckland where he is serving his life sentence.

When Dr Jaclyn Aramoana decided to become a surgeon she contacted the very first Māori surgeon, Associate Professor Jonathan Koea for advice. What eventuated has been an ongoing relationship of mentorship. So far, so very Māori. What became apparent and is perhaps only now really being looked at is that, while Māori practicing medicine continues to increase, Māori specialising in surgery not so much. Yet, if Māori Health inequality is to be truly addressed doesn't that mean Māori must be spread throughout the profession and how does that stack up when Māori surgeons number less than 20? With Koea and Associate Professor Patrick Alley, Dr Aramoana has sought answers to that question amongst others, through a literature review that was published recently in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery.
