Preview: A Moment In Crime - Who killed Scott Guy?
On July 8 2010 Feilding farmer Scott Guy was found dead in the driveway of his own property.
He had been shot twice as he headed out to work on the farm, while his pregnant wife and young son slept soundly in the house.
The murder was shocking - it was cold and cruel - but when Guy's brother-in-law Ewen Macdonald was charged with gunning him down, it became a case that gripped the country.
Macdonald was eventually found not guilty of the murder - a jury deciding the Crown case against him simply was not strong enough to prove the charge - but he was sent to jail on a raft of other crimes against Guy and his wife Kylee.
In episode eight of Herald podcast A Moment in Crime, we look back at the murder of Scott Grahame Guy and the heartbreaking aftermath.
A Moment In Crime is written and hosted by Anna Leask, senior crime reporter for the Herald. The podcast is produced by Chris Tarpey. Frances Cook is the executive producer.
The episode comes follows an anniversary feature by Herald senior journalist Carolyne Meng-Yee, who has been covering the case for much of the past decade.
Meng-Yee spoke extensively to Guy's parents Bryan and Jo, and gives a deep insight into how the family have coped and attempted to heal after the loss of their son, brother, husband and father.
Guy was born and raised in Feilding and had farming in his blood.
After he finished school he worked on a number of rural properties in the Manawatū area and Australia before he settled on the family farm.
He met and married Kylee and they had their first child, Hunter, in 2008.
Kylee was pregnant with their second son when Guy died.
Guy was shot twice - in the throat and face - as he opened the gated at the end of his driveway.
It's believed the gunman closed the gates - they were normally left open - and pulled the trigger as the 31-year-old father of two climbed out of his ute to open them.
Guy's body lay unnoticed on the ground for more than two hours.
Episode eight of A Moment In Crime delves further into the murder and the shocking twist that came when Guy's brother-in-law was charged with his murder.
The podcast has also delved into the death of West Auckland toddler Aisling Symes, the cold case murder of Kayo Matsuzawa and double killer Jason Somerville, infamous for the Christchurch House of Horrors.
Despite exhaustive and repeated searches, there has never been any sign of the little girl.
To mark the 25th anniversary of Amber-Lee's disappearance, we investigated the famous cold case in a bid to generate some answers for the toddler's family.
