The Supreme Court will on Tuesday release its decision on David Tamihere’s last attempt to clear his name, 36 years after his double murder conviction.
Tamihere was found guilty in 1990 of murdering Swedish tourists Urban Höglin, 23, and Heidi Paakkonen, 21, in the Coromandel in a case that shocked the world.
Höglin’s body was found in 1991, Paakkonen’s never was.
Tamihere appealed to the Supreme Court last year, arguing the Court of Appeal should have quashed his convictions in 2025 when it found there had been a miscarriage of justice. Instead, the appeal court had said the convictions should remain.
