The jury has retired to consider their verdict in the trial of Harry Matchitt, the man accused of violently assaulting 77-year-old Brian Hilton five years ago in Ōpōtiki. Hilton was found lying on the floor of his home on the morning of July 8, 2016, with facial injuries. He was taken to Tauranga Hospital, where he later died on July 13. Police originally thought Hilton died after a fall at home but later received new information and reopened the investigation into his death.

Harry Clements Matchitt appears in the High Court at Tauranga, charged with the murder of Brian Albert Hilton.
About a month before he was found in his Ōpōtiki home with injuries that would later claim his life, Brian Hilton phoned his carer, Alan Putt. “You’ve got to come over. That mad bastard [name suppressed] is trying to get in.” Putt was giving evidence in the High Court at Tauranga on the second day of the murder trial of Harry Matchitt, 52, the man accused of murdering Hilton in 2016. On July 8, Hilton, 77, was found with facial injuries, lying on the floor of his home, and he was taken to Tauranga Hospital. He died on July 13.
