FARMER’S WIFE SHOT DEAD
Bullet Through Throat Dominion Special Service. NAPIER, February 1. When he was told by children at the house on his return from work on the farm that his wife had been shot, Mr. John Waldon, a Waihtru farmer, went into the house and found his wife, Muriel Lillian Waldon, aged 44, dead, having been shot by a .22 rifle. A postmortem examination revealed that the bullet had entered the head from the right of the throat. A boy aged 11 years is the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Waldon, but two young girls from Puketitiri were spending the holidays with them at the time of the tragedy. After evidence of identification had been given an inquest was adjourned sine die.
