Show Notes

Messages between Phillip Polkinghorne and his wife Pauline Hanna have come to light today in court.

The Auckland eye surgeon is accused of killing Hanna in their home in 2021, although he claims it was suicide.

The court's heard messages between the two - described by an officer working the case as 'loving'.

NewstalkZB's Chelsea Daniels says jurors were also told about Hanna's activity on her phone the morning she died.

"It appears Hanna's phone was logged drafting a message to Phillip Polkinghorne. Minutes later, another draft message to a friend's daughter - neither of them sent."
