Chris and Cru (ID 25353424) Kahui were the two survivors of triplets born prematurely at 29 weeks by emergency caesarean section on 20 March 2006 at the National Women's Hospital in Grafton to parents Christopher Sonny Kahui and Macsyna Pono King. The Cris and Cru Kahui homicides refers to the murders of twin brothers Christopher Arepa and Cru Omeka Kahui (20 March 2006 – 18 June 2006), two New Zealand infants who died in Auckland's Starship Children's Hospital after being admitted with serious head injuries. Their family initially refused to cooperate with police in the homicide investigation into the children's murder. The father, then 21-year-old Chris Kahui, was charged with their murder. Kahui's defence was that the mother, Macsyna King, was responsible for the deaths. After a six-week trial, the jury took just one minute to acquit Kahui. In July 2012, a coroner's report was released, which concluded that the children's injuries occurred "whilst they were in the sole custody, care and control of their father".
