Bassett Road machine gun murders
The Bassett Road machine gun murders were the murders of two men with a .45 calibre Reising submachine gun on 7 December 1963, at 115 Bassett Road, in the Auckland suburb of Remuera in New Zealand.〔"(Machine gun murders, 7 December 1963 )", New Zealand Police.〕 The crime received considerable media attention and captured the public imagination for many years. Although the weapon was set to single and not rapid fire for the killings, word spread quickly of a "Chicago-style" gang murder previously unheard of in New Zealand.
== Crime ==
Frederick George Walker, a 38-year-old commercial traveler, and Kevin James Speight, a 26-year-old seaman, were found shot several times with large caliber bullets at the Bassett Road house. The house was not solely a residential property, but used as a "beerhouse", given that until 1968, New Zealand pubs were forced to close for the night at six o'clock, resulting in either hurried consumption of alcoholic beverages as the time neared, or else visits to a beerhouse to continue alcohol consumption. Given their quasi-criminal operation, many beerhouses were operated by criminal figures and their associates〔Bainbridge, 2013: 8-9〕 At the time the murders occurred, Walker and Speight were believed to be illegally trading in liquor at their premises as a beerhouse.〔Bainbridge, 2013: 37-64〕 Although illegal, the beerhouses were regarded as a form of petty criminality and tolerated until referenda in New Zealand made it possible for licensed pubs to open past six o'clock and made beerhouses obsolete in 1968. During this illicit period, beerhouses served as a meeting place for beatnik modernist poets and musicians, figures from the boxing and rugby league sporting community, affluent community members who "slummed" with the underworld, drug addicts, alcoholics, borderline or criminal practitioners of gambling in New Zealand and hardened criminals. They also served as early distribution points for Cannabis in New Zealand and other illegal recreational drugs during the forties and fifties.〔Bainbridge, 2013: 12-16, 19-25〕
