Lundy's house was at the eastern end of Palmmy 147kms from Petone. How long was time frame they say he had to drive there/commit the murders and drive back again? Three hours. A 294km round trip.
His average speed would had to have been 100kph without stopping to kill two people.
Add in a reasonable amount of time to commit the murders 20-25 mins? and his average speed increases to around 120kph. That's an unrealistic average speed for SH1 (taking into account traffic lights etc) and keeping at those speeds undetected.

Point being - what if he committed the murders at 3 am in the morning - after all the lights were switched off sometime round 10ish - Its still possible he did it but as I stated a wee way back the police have cocked up big time giving the time frame they put forward - its going to be impossible to find him guilty again using the same case

Life would be so much easier if you addressed questions with a simple answer.
I agree with all of that, and personally believe he did kill his wife and daughter ... but he was found guilty by a Jury that believed the time of death and the travel time as what happened.
If a retrial is to take place, how will the prosecution change those two pervious ''facts''?
No - the time of death is cocked up so the high speed drive is probably not required.
However, if I was trying it I would not use State Highway one until well north - Probably Plimmerton ... from Petone go over Haywards Hill and round the harbour ... then to P/North ... (Maybe even use the Paekakariki Hill to avoid traffic)
Or Petone over the 'takas to the Wairarapa, then over the Pahiatua Track ...
At night those two may well be quicker routes ... but it's a long time since I've seriously lived there so I could well be wrong ...

Right from the very first trial it appeared obvious that the time of death was incorrect. This probable incorrect ToD was raised by the defence and police stuck by their incorrect estimate. On that basis alone Lundy should have been aquitted.
Now lets see the police come up with a more accurate ToD and show that Lundy, and no-one else, had means motive and opportunity. If they can show that the car was not at motel, between midnight and 5:00 am for example, then he will be found guilty once again.
