Tony

On 6 January 1985, Tony “Darcy” Te Hira was murdered in Mt Eden Prison. Fellow inmate Ross Appelgren was twice convicted of the killing but maintained his innocence, saying the prosecution case was based on a string of lies from inmates prepared to “nark” in return for money and early release. For decades the case has remained dormant. But now, an unheard appeal is being resurrected and two women who lost the men they love are looking for answers.See images and read more about the series at www.rnz.co.nz/narkSpecial thanks to everyone who helped bring this podcast to life, especially Julie Appelgren and Suzanne Young.And thanks to Ngā Taonga and Mediaworks for some of the archival audio.AI was used to recreate the voice of Ross Appelgren.
