Ngatai “Mellory” Manning (Unsolved Murder)
Manage episode 374783327 series 2935110
The evening of December 18th 2008 was Mellory “Mel” Manning’s first shift on the streets of Christchurch’s red light district for months. The 27 year old had turned to sex work at a young age to fund a destructive drug habit. Recently a family tragedy had led Mel to take steps to change her life. Tonight was a one off, she was off the drugs but wanted extra money to buy Christmas presents. At 9.43pm Mel sent her last text message. Two minutes later her phone was out of service. The events that followed are now permanently etched into the annals of New Zealand criminal and legal history.
