    A key witness from the trial of convicted murderer Scott Watson has reportedly died in a suspected suicide

    A key witness from the trial of convicted murderer Scott Watson has reportedly died in a suspected suicide


    Guy Wallace was one of the last people to see Ben Smart and Olivia Hope in the Marlborough Sounds on New Year's Eve, in 1997.

    He said he and a "mystery man" dropped the pair at a boat -- and the two were never seen again.

    Scott Watson was later convicted of their murders and sentenced to life in prison.

    At his trial, Wallace identified Watson as the "mystery man" -- but later backtracked, saying police had pressured him.

    Wallace was reportedly found dead in his Greymouth home yesterday.
