Philip Polkinghorne has been accused "pretending" over some of the actions he said he took the morning he found his wife dead in their home.

He was acquitted of murdering Pauline Hanna in 2024. Now he is testifying at her inquest.

Philip Polkinghorne says he began to delete photos and data on his phone from sex worker Madison Ashton when he realised he was the "prime suspect" in his wife's death.
