The body of Oliver Johnston, 20, (pictured) was found at a Woodend Beach property, north of Christchurch. Heath Eric Morris, 19, admitted murdering 20-year-old Oliver Johnston, aka Oliver Greene on June 24 last year at Morris' family's Woodend Beach lifestyle block, 20km north of Christchurch. During the short drive, Morris said to his associate seated beside him: "Shall we kill Oliver?" When asked if he had really hit Johnston, Morris said he had "cracked him twice". Johnston's family described him as a bright, multi-talented, fun-loving, articulate, adventurous, generous, friendly and caring young man with "a delightful smile and sense of humour".
