It was late 2018 when I first spoke to Laurie Anderson. The former partner of Angela Blackmoore, a young woman murdered 23 years before our meeting, was part way through renovating his home in the east Christchurch suburb of Wainoni. The interior walls of the Vancouver Cres property had been removed, making the layout more open plan, but Anderson had no trouble pointing out exactly where he’d found the love of his life lying in a pool of drying blood in the kitchen-dining area.
