In 2013 Auckland couple Glenys Stanton and Trevor Waite were gunned down in bed together at his home in Opaheke south of the city.

Their killer was John Mowatt, an ex of Stanton who spiralled out of control when she ended their relationship.

Mowatt killed himself at Woodhill Forest north of Auckland days after the double murder.

The crime, later dubbed 'the bedroom murders' shocked the country.
