    The fact that Pauline Parker and her friend Juliet Hulme had killed Pauline’s mother Honorah on 22 June – a sensational crime later dramatised in Peter Jackson’s acclaimed film Heavenly creatures – was never disputed. In finding the teenagers guilty of murder, the jury rejected the defence’s assertion that they were insane.

    Because both were under 18 – Pauline was 16 and Juliet 15 – neither could be sentenced to death. Their punishment was ‘detention during Her Majesty’s pleasure’.
