Inside the inquest into Lachie Jones' death as next phase begins
The Front Page - A podcast by NZ Herald
On January 29, 2019, 3-year-old Gore toddler Lachie Jones was found dead in an oxidation pond, a little over a kilometre away from his mother’s home. Two police investigations concluded Lachie drowned, but his father, Paul Jones, does not accept these findings, and believes he was murdered. Ahead of the second phase of a coronial inquest into Lachie’s death, his mother, Michelle Officer, has spoken for the first time to the Herald’s Ben Tomsett about her side of the story. Today on The Front Page, Ben Tomsett joins us to digest that interview, and how this case has evolved. Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
