In Auckland, Jay Christopher Lingman was today jailed to a minimum 15 years behind bars for shooting Denver Chance in the head - then cutting up his body with a chainsaw and hiding it in a freezer.
His body wasn't found for a month - and in the meantime Chance's family were frantically looking for him.
Both men had been drug dealers.
And in Dunedin - Wiremu Namana has admitted bludgeoning and stabbing Dunedin couple David Clarke and Anastasia Margaret to death in 2018 before setting fire to their house.
The ODT reports Namana is a morphine addict and went to the victims' home to source more drugs.
