A 46-year-old man accused of murdering and dismembering a Canterbury father of three has been found guilty.
Michael Scott Rodger has been on trial for four weeks in the High Court at Christchurch for the murder of Richard Leman in April 2023.
Leman was missing for almost a week before his torso was found in the boot of his own car at an abandoned house in Rangiora.
The jury delivered its unanimous verdict to the High Court Thursday afternoon after retiring for deliberations on Tuesday.
