A Gisborne woman's died in a police cell overnight -- a day after being convicted of her father's murder
23 November 2023
63-year-old Lynne Maree Martin was yesterday found guilty of killing 88-year-old Ronald Allison by burning down his house.
He died alone in the fire - in January 2013.
After what was thought to be forever a cold case -- his daughter was arrested and charged with murder just last year.
Martin was stony-faced, showing little emotion during the 12-day trial, but burst into tears and sobbed loudly when the verdict was read.
