Sunday News story here
From Brian Harmer's WYSIWYG News June 1994
Mark Donovan, 27, manager of a duty-free warehouse in South Auckland disappeared from Mangere on June 6. Also missing were some goods and a sum of money. Two brothers, Warren Bruce Carter, 25, and Carl William Carter, 22 were charged with kidnapping, breaking and entering with intent, and use of a knife. Charges of muder were added when the body of the missing man was recovered from a shallow grave on a farm near Port Waikato. Initial forensic investigation indicates that death was by strangulation.
