    Drugs are behind two separate, horrific killings outlined in courts at opposite ends of the country today

    Drugs are behind two separate, horrific killings outlined in courts at opposite ends of the country today


    Scarlett Cvitanovich.reports

    In Auckland, Jay Christopher Lingman was today jailed to a minimum 15 years behind bars for shooting Denver Chance in the head - then cutting up his body with a chainsaw and hiding it in a freezer.

    His body wasn't found for a month - and in the meantime Chance's family were frantically looking for him.

    Both men had been drug dealers.

    And in Dunedin - Wiremu Namana has admitted bludgeoning and stabbing Dunedin couple David Clarke and Anastasia Margaret to death in 2018 before setting fire to their house.

    The ODT reports Namana is a morphine addict and went to the victims' home to source more drugs.
