    It's been revealed the ram that killed an elderly couple on a West Auckland property last week, was owned by neighbours and had broken through an electric fence before the attack

    It's been revealed the ram that killed an elderly couple on a West Auckland property last week, was owned by neighbours and had broken through an electric fence before the attack


    It's still not clear if the ram was being kept in a paddock on the couple's land, or was being kept on a completely separate property when it escaped.

    A neighbour -- who didn't want to be named but was not the owner of the ram -- says the community on Anzac Valley Road Waitakere have been in a "grey" mood since the deaths of the Hansens last Thursday.
