BONUS: Polkinghorne sentenced for meth charges
Description
It was a murder trial that gripped New Zealand, and the world.
Pauline Hanna was found dead in a Remuera home she shared with her husband, Philip Polkinghorne, on April 5, 2021.
What followed was a months-long investigation, Polkinghorne charged with murder, a mammoth trial and eventually, an acquittal.
A jury came back with the not guilty verdict in September – a moment that would not be mark the end of this saga.
That’s because on day one of the trial, former Auckland eye surgeon Philip Polkinghorne pleaded guilty to meth charges.
Today, he was sentenced to 150 hours community service – for possession of meth and a pipe.
