Page "David Bain" Paragraph 6

On the morning of 20 June 1994, David Bain called 111 at 7: 09 am in an apparently distressed state and told the operator: " They're all dead, they're all dead.

" When the police arrived at Every Street they found five members of the Bain family had been shot – Robin Bain ( the father aged 58 ), his wife Margaret ( 50 ), their daughters Arawa ( 19 ), Laniet ( 18 ) and son Stephen ( 14 ).

Four days later, David Bain, then aged 22, was charged with the murder of all five members of his family.

On 5 July 1994, the house was burnt down by the New Zealand Fire Service, at the request of the trustees of the Bain family trust.
