Coroner Demands Raw Interview Footage | Auckland News

A coroner is demanding raw, unedited interview footage from the documentary Polk: The Trial of Philip Polkinghorne to aid in the ongoing inquest into Pauline Hanna’s 2021 death. Though Philip Polkinghorne was acquitted of her murder in 2024, the coroner believes key moments from his 2022 interviews — now being sought under the Coroner’s Act — could reveal vital evidence about whether her death was self-inflicted. The family’s planned cross-examination has been delayed as investigators review the footage, underscoring the inquest’s commitment to uncovering every detail in pursuit of truth.
