STORY: "Mark Lundy trial: Day two," by reporter Jono Galuszka published by Stuff.co on February 10, 2015.
GIST: "Mark Lundy called his house on the day his wife and daughter were found dead, a court has heard. Lundy, 56, is accused of staging a burglary, and launching a "ferocious" attack on his wife, Christine, 38, and daughter Amber, 7, with a small axe or tomahawk which has not been found. First convicted in 2002, he now has a new trial because of a Privy Council ruling, and has pleaded not guilty. Christine Lundy's friend Karen Keenan, the second witness for the Crown, told the court she turned up at the Lundys' house to find Christine's younger brother Glenn Weggery in a "very stressed" state. Weggery had found the bodies that morning. She then entered the house and saw the bodies of her friend and Amber. "There was blood all down the walls and on the roof."
After trying to call police from the home phone, she answered a call from Mark Lundy. She said he wanted to talk to Christine, but she told him she was "tied up" after asking police at the scene for advice. Keenan, Constable Robyn Pewhairangi, Wayne Welford, the first paramedic on the scene, and Weggery have given evidence on day two of the murder retrial at the High Court in Wellington today." Key moments in the trial today listed, including: "Defence lawyer David Hislop alleges that Glenn Weggery, Christine Lundy's younger brother who was called as Crown's first witness, killed Christine and her daughter Amber Lundy."
