About this episode
Day three of the trial of Philip Polkinghorne centred around a bright orange rope hanging from a balustrade, and a detailed walk-through of the scene examination of the couple’s Remuera home.
The former Auckland eye surgeon maintains his wife took her own life on the morning of April 5, 2021 - an Easter Monday.
But, the Crown claims he staged the scene to look like suicide.
