Life Sentence for Dismembered Murder | Auckland News

Michael Rodger just got life in prison for the brutal murder and dismemberment of Richard Leman, whose torso was found stuffed in his own car—head and limbs still missing. The family is heartbroken, unable to bury him with dignity or say goodbye, as his 11-year-old son still texts his dad’s phone, hoping for a reply. Rodger denied killing Leman but admitted to hiding the body; DNA and evidence pinned him, while an accomplice pleaded guilty. No one called for help that day, and the family insists Richard was more than a crime—he was a beloved father and brother, stolen from them in a horror they’ll never forget.
