David Benbow: The trial that captivated the country and its remaining mystery
The Front Page - A podcast by NZ Herald
After two trials, David Charles Benbow has been sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Michael McGrath in 2017. Benbow will spend at least 17 years behind bars for McGrath’s death in a case that has garnered national attention. And that’s because McGrath’s body has never been found. New Zealand Herald senior crime reporter Sam Sherwood has been following this case for seven years, and even served as a witness for the Crown during the first trial. He joins The Front Page to discuss this captivating case. Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
