Police killer Eli Epiha has been found guilty of the attempted murder of another officer, Constable David Goldfinch.

Epiha pleaded guilty to the murder of Constable Matthew Hunt, who he shot dead in a West Auckland street in June last year.

He denied the four shots he fired at Constable Goldfinch we designed to kill him. Today, a jury found him guilty.

RNZ reporter Katie Todd has been covering the case and joins Lisa Owen in the studio.
