About

For twelve days in 1941 the countryside round the small West Coast settlement of Koiterangi, near Hokitika, was terrorised by the murderer of seven men-Stanley Graham. In the first week of October this 40-year-old farmer threatened two neighbours with a firearm. On the afternoon of 8 October he shot the four policemen who visited his home investigating complaints laid by these neighbours. A civilian who attempted to come to the aid of the police was similarly mowed down. Before police arrived Graham had packed up food, clothing, four guns and about 1000 rounds of ammunition, and escaped into bush behind his farm.

This was a grim sideshow during World War II which for a short time distracted New Zealand from the horrors of bigger battles on more distant shores.

Includes monochrome images and maps.
