About this listen

It's a story that began in a rickety old home on a cold June morning in 1994, where five members of a seemingly ordinary New Zealand family were gunned down.

There were two suspects. One lay dead from a single bullet to the head. The other was the only survivor: David Bain. Since then, the country has asked: who killed the Bain family? David, or his father Robin? And why?

Award-winning journalist Martin van Beynen has covered the Bain story closely for decades. Now, his book brings the story completely up to date: exploring the case from start to finish, picking through evidence old and new, plumbing the mysteries and motives, interviewing never-before-spoken-to witnesses, and guiding listeners through the complex police investigation and court cases, seeking to finally answer the question: who was the killer?
