===The incident===
In June 1954 while they were 15, Juliet and her best friend Paulne Parker murdered Parker's mother, Honorah Rieper. Juliet's parents were in the process of moving to South Africa to stay with a relative. The two teenage friends, who had created a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasy_(psychology) fantasy] life together with famous actors, did not want to be separated.

The girls went for a walk with Honorah Rieper in Victoria Park in their hometown of Christchurch. Pauline hit her mother with half a brick wrapped in a stocking. The pair had assumed that a single blow would kill Honorah, but it took over 20. After committing the murder, the two girls fled while still covered in blood, back to the tea kiosk where the three of them had eaten only minutes before. They told owners of the tea shop, that Honorah had fallen and hit her head.

The duo's story began to fall apart when the police discovered Honorah's cause of death, the lacerations on her head, and other such evidence on Honorah's body. The Police also discovered the murder weapon in the nearby woods. It did not take long for Pauline and Juliet's guilt to become obvious.
