Bain property for sale
The real estate advertisement talks of the Dunedin property’s tranquil views, sunny aspect, woodland garden and private patios. The property at 65 Every St, Anderson’s Bay, has another notable feature. It was also the scene of one of New Zealand’s most sensational and controversial murders. Five members of the Bain family were found dead in the house on June 20, 1994, by the family’s only surviving member David, then a 22-yearold part-time student. Within a week, he was charged with the murders before being convicted at a trial in 1995. After serving 13 years of a 16-year jail term, he was acquitted of the murders after a new trial in 2007. He, his wife and two children are believed to have moved to Australia. The Bain house was burnt to the ground about three weeks after the murders and the new house was built in 1996 by Lorraine and Stewart Harvey.
