Summary: Life Term For Murder (Press, 29 June 1985)
An 18-year-old from Auckland, Neville Andrew Edgerton, was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Glen Dalrymple Martin. The verdict was delivered by a jury in the High Court at Auckland after a four-day trial that concluded on 29 June 1985. The murder took place on 15 January 1985, following a day of drinking together at an Auckland hotel. The jury learned that Edgerton stabbed Mr Martin multiple times after Mr Martin declined two homosexual advances made by Edgerton. Justice Casey presided over the case and imposed the life sentence following the jury's decision.
