After nearly five weeks of witnesses, The Crown has closed its case in the trial of Philip Polkinghorne.

The former Auckland eye surgeon is accused of murdering his wife, Pauline Hanna, who was found dead on 5 April, 2021.

He maintains she took her own life.

The Crown closed its case with more on Polkinghorne’s arrest, Police searches, and a last minute witness on cell phones.

The rest of the trial is now in the hands of the Defence – and for their first witness, they called up Pauline Hanna’s own sister.

You can listen to episodes of Accused: The Polkinghorne Trial through The Front Page podcast feed, or find it on iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts.
