Each cross symbolises one person murdered in 2008. There were 49 in total that we are aware of to date. Click on the cross over Auckland to get a regional breakdown for that location. Click on any other cross to link to story on each killing. The Herald is our preferred source, but we also use Xtra and Police links where no Herald report is available. Note that not all murders are noted here, some do not become public knowledge

Murder for the purposes of this map is defined as a death resulting from the intentional actions of another person. This may include some situations that legally may be considered as manslaughter, and in a number of these cases trials are still under way.
