Chelsea Daniels: ZB reporter on the forensic pathologist who examined Pauline Hanna's body giving evidence at Polkinghorne murder trial

Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Mondays

The pathologist who did Pauline Hanna's autopsy has taken the stand in Phillip Polkinghorne's murder trial. The Auckland eye doctor is accused of killing his wife, Hanna, in 2021 - although his defence claims she killed herself. The court's heard today from Doctor Kilak Kesha. ZB's Chelsea Daniels says Kesha detailed seeing a belt impression on Hanna's neck at the scene. "An officer there alerted him to a belt found - he said it looked identical, but pretty much immediately after, defence lawyer Ron Mansfield got Kesha to concede the belt could have been used in her death."
