On October 13, 1985, a man called Arthur Easton was stabbed to death in Auckland home. His sons initially described the murderer as a strong 6-foot Māori man. But the man police placed in handcuffs months later was a slim 5-foot-7 Pakeha with learning difficulties. He has always maintained his innocence. More than 30 years later, he is still in prison.
