On June 20, 1994 all but one member of the Bain Family has been murdered in their dilapidated home in Dunedin, New Zealand. A one sentence suicide note remained, it read: Sorry, you are the only one that deserved to stay. So was that it? Had Robin Bain murdered murdered his wife, three of his four children, and then turn the gun on himself? Or had this been the plan of the surviving member of the Bain family, the eldest child, David? Join us as we get into part two and discuss the two trials that take place surrounding this case. The evidence from each with be presented and we would love for you to let us know. If you were a juror, what would you have decided?
