Witnesses

David Hogan

Rex Haig, Tony Sewell and David Hogan were all considered as suspects but it would be David Hogan who, after accepting a reward of around $13,000 and immunity from the Solicitor - General, would testify against Rex Haig and become the key crown witness.

David Hogan kept changing his story. In the summing up it would be made very clear by Justice Hansen that David Hogan's evidence was highly unreliable and..."without Hogan's evidence there would not be a Crown case".

Peter Squires

Peter Squires was another boat captain who told of seeing and even talking to Mark Roderique when he reboarded the Antares after the fighting incident. He stated that he heard two rasied voices from the Antares, identifying one of them as Roderiques. Squires say's "he was saying I'm sorry, I didnt mean to do that...". The other voice was not recognised by Squires but evidence would suggest that it would not be Haig. Another of Squires crewman who was at Talley's Depot, tells Police that Rex Haig was still there with Tony Sewell at this time.

Unfortunetly, Peter Squires later drowned when his boat capsized near Greymouth.
