Episode description
The details of the 1977 murder of Betty Benning were so bizarre, movie producer Philly De Lacey turned it into a black comedy.
In 1977 on a quiet Karori street, Alf Benning brutally murdered his wife Betty.
Her body parts were discovered buried beneath a freshly planted apple tree in the backyard. Alf had copies of books borrowed from the local library about getting away with murder.
The killing is the subject of the black comedy film How to Murder Your Wife which was released in 2015 and produced by Philly de Lacey, chief executive of Screentime.
