After a handsome young farmer, Scott Guy, was murdered in the driveway leading from his farmhouse outside the sleepy town of Feilding, near the bottom of New Zealand’s North Island, on 8 July, 2010, the crime quickly became one of the most sensational in the country’s criminal history. It had all the ingredients of a TV soap opera – beautiful, affluent characters and intrigue and mystery that made it a classic ‘whodunit’.
For many months it appeared that the perpetrator had committed a perfect crime. Police were baffled. They made little progress in solving the murder. Then, unexpectedly, they announced they had arrested a suspect – Scott Guy’s brother-in-law Ewen Macdonald, a trusted member of the family.
For the wider Guy family, the arrested piled tragedy upon tragedy. Ewen was married to Scott’s beautiful sister Anna. He was the father of her four small children. He was a key member of the family business and had been welcomed into the Guy household as one of their own. Scott had even been best man when Ewen married Anna.
The arrest and trial that followed caused a sensation, particularly when Ewen was acquitted of the murder and the brilliant lawyer who defended him was found dead beside his car a few weeks later.
But it was not only the sensational events surrounding the crime, the hunt for the killer, and Macdonald’s trial that captivated the country’s attention – it was the way in which Scott’s parents conducted themselves in the face of such horrendous adversity.
The public got to know the Guys through the courage and humility they displayed on TV. They mined rare inner strength to cope with the stress, grief, fear and heartbreak of not only the violent death of their son, but of a series of other personal catastrophes which followed.
They have shared their unique story in the hope that others, no matter where they are, struggling with the vagaries of life, will benefit from the pain of their experiences. This, they believe, may give meaning to the apparent senselessness of all that has happened within their family.
Their story is inspirational. Woven into a classic murder, it touches on issues and challenges that confront us all.
