Days 12 and 13: Pathologists detail Pauline's death, friends testify about their concerns

Warning: This episode contains disturbing material and some explicit language.  How did Pauline Hanna die? That’s the question for the jury, who, for weeks will consider evidence and ultimately decide – was it murder, or suicide?   It’s also a question put to two different pathologists, tasked with exploring how the 63-year-old died in her Remuera home in April 2021.   Philip Polkinghorne is accused of murdering his wife – but maintains she took her own life.   We also hear from a long-time friend of Pauline and about an incident that worried her and her husband, and we get the first glimpse into Philip’s work life – what were the issues at Auckland Eye we’ve heard so much about?   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.This series is presented and produced by, Chelsea Daniels, with producer Ethan Sills and sound engineer Paddy Fox.
