Jury in Philip Polkinghorne's murder trial resumes deliberations after hearing his 111 call reporting wife's death as suicide.
The jury in Philip Polkinghorne's murder trial in New Zealand is resuming deliberations after hearing a 111 emergency call he made reporting his wife Hanna's death, which he described as a suicide. Prosecutors allege he strangled her and staged the scene, while the defense argues she took her own life due to long-term depression. The trial, now in its ninth week, has featured over 80 witnesses, and a verdict is anticipated soon.
