Grant Trevor (Granite) Adams

Known as 'Granite', his burned skeletal remains were exhumed from a steam vent at the Wairakei geothermal powerstation near Taupo in June 2007. Tauranga company director Brett Michael Ashby, who lived on a rural Ohauiti property, was charged with Adam's execution-style murder. Ashby was the brother-in-law of career criminal Arthur Taylor and died of liver cancer in 2009 before he could be brought to trial. On 14 December 2005 Adams was shot up to five times in Ohauiti before being wrapped in a rug, transported to Wairakei, set alight and buried. Tauranga man Craig Cullum was charged and convicted with being an accessory after the fact to the murder. Source: Tauranga Murders by Debbie McCauley.
