Background
Background
NZ Herald story here and a witness testimony here. He committed this murder while out on parole
A classic psychopath. Has a long history of violent, callous offending.
Justice Potter said Bell had acted in an utterly callous and indifferent way. None of the three would have died instantly. "All would have suffered immeasurably during the period that Bell battered and bludgeoned the life out of them," she said, Bell had shown no remorse at the crime, which the judge said was no botched robbery. "It was planned and included the elimination of witnesses who could identify him," the judge said.
