Okay so most people on the forum won't have any idea to this, but the case is major headline news over here (NZ) again.
The basics are that David Bain was convicted of murdering 5 members of his family and has been in Jail for the last 12 years. His case was heard in the Privy Council in England last week and his convictions were set aside and a new trial suggested. He was released on bail yesterday,
This is a page with information about the case.
Okay so to the theory.
Recent events have come to light about the Dunedin Police and their behaviour in the 80's and 90's, including allegations of them frequenting the brothel where Laniet worked. Since Protitution was illegal at the time, it seems that they were able to force the workers to give them free sex. It is also claimed that Laniet kept a black book with her client's names in it, though this was apparently never found.
The theory goes that with a number of the CIB officers having been involved in the above practice and particularly Laniet, that their names were in that book. It was reasoned by them that should the more likely reason for the murders, Robin's abuse of Laniet and her going to come clean about it, surfaced, that her life would become a major aspect of the investigation, including her clients and thus their own involvement in the pressuring of prositutes to give them free sex. Face with such a scandel, they conspired to fabricate and hide evidence in such a way that the finger of guilt would be pointed at David and he'd be the scapegoat while they made Robin look like a saint so as to prevent the truth of Laniet's abuse and prostitution from ever coming to light.
