Murder of Scott Guy
Scott Guy was shot to death at the gate of the family farm in Feilding, New Zealand in July 2010. Six months later, his brother-in-law, Ewen Macdonald, was charged with the murder. Macdonald was married to Scott Guy's sister Anna, and Scott had been best man at their wedding. Both men managed the Guy's family farm and surrounding properties on Aorangi Rd a few miles from Feilding.
Macdonald was defended by high-profile defence lawyer, Greg King. After a trial that captured the attention of the New Zealand media and public, Macdonald was found not guilty. King attributed the public's interest in the case to "unadulterated racism" as the victim and the accused were "good looking white people".〔(Ewen Macdonald just a 'Kiwi bloke' - lawyer )〕 Two months later, King himself was found dead; the coroner's inquiry ruled his death a suicide.〔(Lawyer's death found to be suicide ). ''Radio NZ''. 17 October 2013.〕
== Background ==
The police alleged that Macdonald had held a grudge against Scott after the latter returned from outback Australia in 2008 and said he wanted to inherit the farm. There was an ongoing rivalry between the two. Because of the tension Bryan Guy, Scott's father called a number of family meetings to clear the air. Scott was given responsibility to raise the calves and grow the crops for the cows. Macdonald was given responsibility for the dairy side of the business.〔 The tension appeared to have subsided and Bryan Guy reported that in the previous 12 months "everyone seemed to be getting along really well." Two weeks before the murder, MacDonald and Scott travelled to Invercargill together for a dairying conference. Nikki Guy, Scott's other sister, said the pair had a "fantastic time".〔(Brother-in-law on death charge )〕 At the trial, the Crown alleged Scott still wanted to take control of the farm and went to one particular family meeting with an agenda outlining his demands. The prosecutor claimed "this might as well have been his death warrant".〔(Scott Guy trial: Family at war )〕
One of the Guy's former farm workers, Callum Boe, subsequently told police that he and Macdonald used to go on hunting trips they referred to as "missions". He told police that on one mission in October 2008, they torched an old home on Scott's section. In January, 2009 about 18 months before the murder, they vandalised a home being built by Scott and his wife, Kylee, causing $14,000 worth of damage. At the time no one but Boe and Macdonald knew who was responsible.
