New Footage Reveals Polkinghorne’s Contradictions | Auckland News

from Auckland News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

New unseen 2022 documentary footage is shaking up the inquest into Pauline Hanna’s death, revealing fresh details from her husband Polkinghorne — who was acquitted of murder in 2024. In previously unreleased clips, Polkinghorne insists he didn’t use any electronics after watching TV with Hanna and going to separate bedrooms, claiming he fell asleep without remembering his laptop or other devices. He also admits to deleting WhatsApp messages himself — initially blaming someone else, then later confessing out of embarrassment — despite police pointing to his shifting story. Polkinghorne claims he was interrogated without legal support or a lawyer present, eventually leaving after being advised by a friend and defense attorney. His final testimony under oath will be scrutinized by Hanna’s siblings as the inquest moves forward. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
