the motive was suposed to be insurance money now that would explian him killing doesnt explian why he would killl hes kid.

Amber was killed from behind in the master bedroom. The Prosecution argument was that she heard the disturbance, entered the bedroom then tried to escape. As she recognized the killer she had to be dispatched.

I see the case is back before the Supreme Court. As Lundy's defence team call for a 2nd retrial in a rarely used move challenging the Proviso (about the inadmissable evidence of the brain tissue) provided by the Crown after the retrial. Should make for an interesting outcome.

The Defence can count itself lucky that it secured a conviction. If Mark Lundy had said he had been frying sausages and Christine had at some point sneezed on his shirt depositing mucus thereon he might just have walked free.

The paint from his tools lodged into the victims bones does not help the frying sausage theory.  :-\

No this would possibly suggest that the murders were a spur of the moment decision.

Yes they were planned inasmuch as they had to take place when he had the alibi of travelling to Wellington. What I meant was they were not as thoroughly researched as they might have been or, for example, he would have bought a new hammer for the purpose and not relied on his own work tools in the garage with paint flecks on them.

Or he just didn't understand or know how his tools would leave those clues.

This was interesting notsure and does suggest to my mind that (allegedly) Glenn Weggery, Christine's brother may have committed the murders. I would only say that if he did it was at Mark's request on the understanding that they would share out the insurance money subsequently. However this being the case one would have thought that Mark would have established a better alibi for himself than he did. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11935358

If it was Christine's brother wouldn't the skin found under Christine's finger nails, the lumps of hair found in her hands be a familial DNA to Christine.

Police never took Glenn Weggery in for any forensics.

They don't need to, if they test the DNA they'll soon be able to see if it's familar to Christine & Amber.

Similar to here.
Quote
When a search of the DNA database failed to find a direct hit, police ordered a familial DNA test, which identifies similar genetic traits such as those of a relative.

The Herald understands the familial test on the sample identified Reekers' half-sister. Further inquiries from police into her family identified Joseph Reekers, who lived in West Auckland at the time of the murder and had a previous conviction for rape.

still the fact remains they didn’t find out whose hair it was and if it wasn’t marks as far as i’m concerned it’s a miscarriage of justice and an unfair trial. blood was found in weggerys bathroom , was that tested. poor bloke will have to do the time . it’s all based on junk science imo
