speaking of burying hubbies in the garden: this case from NZ on the 90s

Gay Oakes
In January 1993 Gay Oakes gave her partner Doug Gardner a drugs overdose, and after his death the following morning, hid his body on her property at 14 Hutchison Street, Christchurch. Fourteen months later, she was convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment.

Oakes has recently written a book while in prison Decline into Darkness in which she describes a life of beatings and mental torture at the hands of her de facto husband. She writes that Gardner stole money from her and continued to harrass her even though she had left him. Oakes’s fears of what he would do that night led her to drug his coffee with pills. She writes she did not intend killing him, she just wanted to put him to sleep to escape more abuse. After Gardner fell asleep, Oakes dragged him into her bedroom and left him on the floor, out of sight of her children so they would not be disturbed. She said Gardner was still breathing when she got up in the morning, but later, when she returned from shopping, he had died.

She wrote that she panicked, and she and a friend buried Gardner under a lean-to beside the garage on her property. Fourteen months later, after a tip-off, police exhumed Gardner’s remains. Oakes was charged with murder, was convicted and received the mandatory life imprisonment sentence. She unsuccessfully appealed, blaming Battered Women’s Syndrome for her actions. Lawyer Judith Ablett-Kerr is now acting for her and an appeal to the Governor General for intervention is proceeding.
