We’re finally in New Zealand for this week’s episode as we cover the terrible Parker-Hulme murder. Our first matricide case, with hints of folie a deux and all the more terrible as our perpetrators are adolescents. Our case takes us back to 1954, in Victoria Park, Christchurch where; armed with a brick in a stocking, 16-year-old Pauline Parker and her best friend Juliet Hulme, 15, became two of New Zealand’s most notorious murderers when they killed Pauline’s mother, Honorah.
