In 1987, pig hunters stumbled upon the body of Robert Gawith kicking off a murder inquiry with links to the infamous Mr Asia drug syndicate.

It was a case that sparked headlines like 'NZ's Bonnie and Clyde' or 'Lawless Lovers' when it was discovered that a couple with links to the Mr Asia crime syndicate were behind the murder of 23 year-old Robert Gawith.

Robert Gawith was celebrating a hefty payout when he was brutally murdered by couple Patrick and Jennifer Norton-Bennett.

Former police officer, Wayne Kiely worked on the case and talks about how the death of the young man was solved and became the undoing of a key player in the Mr Asia Drug syndicate.
