Arthur Allan Thomas: The Inside Story: Crewe Murders: New Evidence by Ian Wishart
Jailed for a crime he didn't commit, now for the fi rst time in 40 years, he tells his incredible story as we name a new prime suspect. WAS THE KILLER OF HARVEY & JEANNETTE CREWE A POLICE INSIDER? THE SHOCKING NEW EVIDENCE IN A 40 YEAR OLD COLD CASE NEW WITNESS COMES FORWARD: Dear Ian, I have had information since 1970 that I have been far too frightened to release. I made an effort to inform the Police in 1970 and spoke to a Sergeant Johnston ... he told me that if I ever rang the Police with that information again or made any attempt to have it made known then I would be the next bastard found in the river AWARD-WINNING INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALIST IAN WISHART HUNTS DOWN SIGNIFICANT NEW LEADS, AND FOR THE FIRST TIME, ARTHUR ALLAN THOMAS DESCRIBES HIS ARREST, HIS YEARS BEHIND BARS AND HIS LIFE SINCE HIS RELEASE - AN INCREDIBLE, NEVER-BEFORE-TOLD STORY... Editorial Reviews Review THE CRITICS ON THE INSIDE STORY: Undeniably...when Wishart hits he hits big. Arthur Allan Thomas: The Inside Story is a book two generations of New Zealanders have waited for...Wishart...offers an explosive new theory about who pulled the trigger of the gun that killed the Crewes in their Pukekawa farmhouse and theorises about the mystery woman who fed their infant daughter, Rochelle, for days after the murders. ...With his thorough analysis of the evidence and his generous use of first-person accounts it's a stellar piece of journalism... - Southland Times Wishart has a brand new prime suspect and he lays out his case in this fascinating and highly readable book. Wishart is painstaking in his investigation, and his interviews with the man at the centre of the case, Arthur Thomas, offer a remarkable insight into one of New Zealand's most memorable characters. - Kerre McIvor, Newstalk ZB Wishart's report of Detective Sergeant Len Johnston's brazen arrogance collecting items for later use as evidence from Thomas's farm - pieces of wire, .22 shells and axle stubs - exposes a dark and scary side to our guardians. Through the book Wishart lays the ground for his claim that Johnston was actually the murderer and by his position on the inquiry team and proximity to Hutton, was able to influence an outcome which saw Thomas convicted twice of a double murder. Wishart's conclusions are disturbingly possible in my view. The question of to what extent Hutton had the wool pulled over his eyes by Johnston is moot. Based on Wishart's debunking of transcripts and evidence previously recorded, I think Hutton could well have been fooled by his best mate. Which means so too were the rest of the team deluded. - former Det. Insp. Ross Meurant, NZ Herald
