Mark Lundy
« on: September 08, 2016, 01:55:AM »
This is an interesting case I looked into a while ago. Many believe the man is innocent but in my opinion its a solved case.

The evidence against Lundy is overwhelming.

  • The family business was heavily in debt
  • Mark Lundy tries to increase the life insurance on his wife to $1,000,000 the same year of the murders.
  • The car journeys are long but barely possible, showing Lundy travelled the distance as fast as he could.
  • Wife's Jewellery box goes missing but some of Wife's Jewellery is found in his car
  • Lundy colour codes his construction tools, the same shades of the same two colours are found on the victims
  • Lundy's tool box was found locked in the garage an intruder could not have used the weapon.
  • The victims took major blows to the head, Brain tissue is found on Lundy's top.
  • The brain tissue on Lundy's top is in the exact same spot his Wife's DNA was found.
  • Christine's dies in bed and Amber's was on the floor in the doorway of that room, Showing the wife was the intended target and Amber was an accidental witness.

Yes, and the ability to switch emotions on and off at will reminds one of the Bamber funerals. A nonentity vaudevillian who was bullied at school and who always desired power over others, the classic narcissist who beat his wife to death with overkill and his daughter just enough to ensure death. He was spotted running from the scene of the crime by an eyewitness, which along with the DNA evidence was enough to convict.  http://www.lundytruth.co.nz/eye-witness-report.html

There are no similarities with the Bamber case IMO. The sunglasses and the moaning like a ghost nonstop just seems like bad acting to me.

The alternative theories his supporters come up with are silly. One is that is was a debt collection gone wrong. What debt collector sneaks into a house in the middle of the night with an axe, approach the payee while in their bed asleep and slaughter them?

At least the NZ government gave him a retrial when the evidence was ruled unsafe in the first trial. Found guilty again only last year.

With reference to the Jeremy Bamber case I won't comment on the part in bold. However as you say he was granted a retrial where he was found guilty for a second time, though surprisingly and possibly disturbingly on a whole different set of evidence, which the Crown was able to introduce simply because the original conviction was quashed. Maybe I should comment on the similarity between the two cases after all, namely that where there are parts of the evidence which do require further scrutiny I have no doubt that the verdict reached was a correct one.

For those who are interested further in the case and have a spare hour and a half there's more detail here:  https://youtu.be/iwQvI8Eq0mE

The only difference in the second trial was the times of death.

But that was a huge difference as the Crown had to ditch Lundy driving through rush hour traffic and it had concomitant consequences such as the pathologist's evidence regarding the digestion of the McDonald's meal, the elderly eyewitness's account which wasn't used and the computer manipulation evidence, where it was seemingly impossible to change the time, only the date.  Additionally the Defence claimed the brain tissue could have been of animal extraction and therefore got there by contact with cooked sausages.

However it seems that Lundy going with a prostitute stuck in the jurors' minds and discredited his credibility as one of a family man, and I've no doubt the correct decision was reached.

You have to assume that they ate the food when they got home, they could have saved it for later or ate more food before they went to bed. On top of that stomach contents is very unreliable to nail the time of death and varies depending on what was eaten and drunk.

For Lundy to be innocent would mean that the two shades of orange and light blue paint that Lundy happened to colour code his axe happened to get on the victims coincidentally or the alternative suspect happens to paint his axe the same shades of both colours.

For Lundy to be innocent would mean he happens to eat meat were the producers mistakenly left traces of animal brain tissue in their product. He happens to get this food on his polo top and never washes the top

For Lundy to be innocent would mean Christine Lundy's DNA somehow got into the same fabric containing the central nervous system tissue from food spillage that no one bothered to clean. Or did Christine Lundy snease on his top after he spilled meat contaminated CNS tissue on himself shortly before the murders?   ::)

The sausage theory is stupid if you ask me. They only put animal brains in pet food

But didn't the original pathologist swear on oath that the victims had been killed within one hour of eating the McDonald's meal? In the second trial this couldn't be mentioned at all, let alone relied upon as evidence.

Where do you get this colour coding stuff and garage tool evidence? I can't find it anywhere.

They must have testified at the original trial because they were quoted by Lundy's Appeal Defence Team.

One of the experts used an extract from Professor Bernard Knight’s published work. Another expert consulted Vanezis for advice. They were not directly involved. specially knight.

Bernard Knight has expressed doubts over Bamber's guilt long after the trial by the way Steve.
