After two days of deliberations a jury has found both David Hawken and Rebecca Wright-Meldrum guilty of the murder of 21-year-old Christchurch woman Angela Blackmoore in 1995.
The pair have been standing trial at the High Court in Christchurch after pleading not guilty to the killing.
A third person, Jeremy Powell, admitted the murder and was sentenced to life imprisonment, with a non-parole period of 10 years, in 2020.
