KEY POINTS:
David Bain enjoyed a special day out with new flatmate Deborah Read yesterday.
Whether the couple are more than friends is yet to be confirmed.
But the pair seemed close as they helped each other over rough terrain while horse-riding at Muriwai Beach.
Five-times murder accused Bain moved out of the farm house he shared with supporter Joe Karam into a West Auckland home with the daughter of a long-time supporter.
On release he told reporters he was single. Bain is awaiting a retrial for the murder of his family, which is expected to start next year. He is starting his studies at Unitec.
