About this episode
In this detailed episode, Emma Kenny delves into the dark chapter of New Zealand's history involving William Bell, the perpetrator of the infamous RSA (Returned and Services' Association) Murders. We explore the tragic day that led to the loss of Wayne Johnson, Mary Hobson, and William Absolum, whose lives were brutally ended in an act of senseless violence. This analysis goes beyond the headlines, examining the events that unfolded at the RSA club, Bell's subsequent capture, and the trial that gripped a nation. As we honor the victims and their families, we also discuss the broader implications for society and the justice system's response to such heinous crimes. Subscribe to join us in a respectful remembrance of the lives lost and in seeking a deeper understanding of the factors that lead to such devastating acts.
