NEW ZEALAND: Turned into the Darkest Land
Posted by te2ataria on November 5, 2009
They find ’em here, they find ’em there… corpses, bodies, cadavers, stiffs everywhere
Not a day, not an hour goes by without a body being found somewhere in New Zealand
Take any city, “township,” road, blind alley, house, abandoned structure, cupboard, garage, burnt out wreckage of a car… look carefully, and you’ll find a body!
It’s no wonder New Zealand is among Top Ten destinations for “murder tourism.” [The others on the list are Afghanistan, Iraq, PNG, Somali…]
Interestingly (!) in most cases the police-instructed coroners want the curious public to believe that a victim can commit suicide by first hanging/ shooting self in the head, then walking to the nearest bridge/ harbor and jumping in, or bludgeoning self to death, but making it look like ‘accidental death‘ caused by fire [where fire was started accidentally, though the murderer used a hydrocarbon accelerant.]
Here are some recent examples, which cover approximately 8 percent of such finds that have been reported or recorded by this blog, but demonstrate the point.
Most kiwis would say they’re ‘shocked’ when confronted with the evidence!
