Pauline Parker and Juliet Hulme came from different worlds. Pauline’s father managed a fish shop while her mother, Honora Mary Parker, took in lodgers to make ends meet; Juliet’s father was a famous British physicist and her mother, a marriage counsellor. Nevertheless, the two young girl were drawn to each other, perhaps due to their similarities in temperament.
Pauline’s education had not been of the highest of standard, but she was a gifted and imaginative writer, and Juliet was deeply sensitive to the point of being psychologically fragile. Over time, what started out as a friendship became much, much more. The two adolescent girls - Pauline was 15, Juliet 16 - began to explore their sexuality with one another. As Juliet would later say, when they were together it was “better than heaven.” 
Unfortunately events were conspiring to bring their relationship to an end. Juliet’s mother divorced her father, and the young girl was deeply traumatized when she caught her mother in bed with a new man. Soon after, her father announced that he was returning to Britain to take up a new post, and Juliet would be sent to live with relatives in South Africa, where it was hoped her health would improve.
Both girls were devastated at the idea of being separated, but Honora Parker made no secret of her relief. She had grown suspicious of their friendship and the strange hold Juliet ad over her daughter, so when Pauline begged to be allowed to go to South Africa too, she refused. In doing so, she became the focus of the girls’ frustration and anger. 
If Pauline was orphaned, they reasoned, there would be no-one to stop her joining Juliet in South Africa. As Pauline wrote in her diary on February 13, 1954, “Why could mother not die? Dozens of people are dying, thousands are dying every day. So why not mother and father too?” It would be one of the many diary entries that eventually helped convict her. 
On June 22, not long before Juliet was due to leave, Honora Parker took the girls to Victoria Park for tea and cakes. After the treat, the three strolled in the park and when they reached a secluded spot, Mrs. Parker bent over to pick up a stone that had attracted her attention. As she did, a stocking loaded with a brick crashed into her skull. Over and over, the teenage girls took it in turn to beat Pauline’s mother to death. And when they were sure that she was gone, they ran back to the tea kiosk, screaming for help and crying, “Mummy’s been hurt!”
Police found the stocking and brick close by Honora Parker’s body and the two girls were arrested. Both admitted that they had helped in the grisly task of killing Mrs. Parker and both were found equally responsible. After a sensational trial unlike any New Zealand had ever seen, the two girls were found guilty of murder on August 29, 1954, and - in view of their ages - sentenced to five years in prison each with the added condition that when they were released they could never see each other again.

HEAVENLY CREATURES| FILM REVIEW
Heavenly Creatures ( 1994) ★★★
Drama/Fantasy, 109 minutes
Director: Peter Jackson
Cast: Melanie Lynskey, Kate Winslet, Sarah Peirse, Diana Kent, and more. 
Summary: A rich teenager by the name of Juliet soon moves to Christchurch, New Zealand with the rest of her family. Where she then becomes friends with the shy and weird Pauline through their love of creating fantasy. This fantasy soon becomes escapism and delusion through a co-dependent, obsessive relationship. When worry is brought up by the girls’ respective parents, they make a plan to get rid of all things in the path of their being together. 
Tumblr media
Review: This movie creates so much empathy for these two characters it’s almost weird that I didn’t even give a second thought to what they did at the end. This film is about growing up, first love, and obsession that comes with that first love but to an extreme.
The intense female friendship is like a budding growth of warmth in your chest when you first watch it. These two love each other in their own world and the world they have escaped, and trauma bonded themselves to. Although some may agree with this just two girls being obsessive, I personally agree that they were in love with each other. This just wasn’t the time where spaces for lesbians or really women at all existed. The two actresses blew this out of the park for their introduction to the film world, and they both continue to do so today.

The Parker-Hulme case is my favorite True Crime story of all time. Probably because it's chillingly relatable.
Two mentally ill/depressed and isolated girls, one exceedingly neglected, have an obsessive (and speculatively homo-erotic/romantic) friendship wherein they get too locked in a fantasy world. They create their own religion and write letters to each other from the POV of their characters. They even went by different names. When their parents plan to separate them, the girls kill one of their mothers.
It's kind of one of those; "thaaaaaat might’ve been a possible timeline for me if Kirra/Apollo had a few more ounces of control of our system" vibes.
They also talked about "the fourth world" like K/A and I talked about "The other plane." 😬
Oh, and one ends up as a famous mystery writer.
Go figure.
