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 by Stanley Graham.
The tragedy began when Graham refused to hand over his rifle to police to assist the war effort. He felt aggrieved that police were ‘persecuting’ him rather than investigating his neighbours, who he believed were poisoning his cows.
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.
