What events led to the demise of Peter Plumley Walker?
I got the flat in Rotomahana Terrace just before Christmas 1988 so we could do B&D sessions. Renee told me what to buy from the hardware store and where to hang the chains on the wall. I also made some whips according to her instructions. We advertised in the newspaper just after Christmas, but until Plumlee Walker died we only had about ten sessions involving six of seven clients. One guy got dressed up like a woman and Renee would tell him to do things like clean the shower, which she held him on a chain and made him bark like a dog. Then she'd tell him how stupid he looked. Another guy liked to be tied to a chair with his feet facing backwards. He would pay Renee 200 bucks to whack him with a jandal while she was dressed like a jazzercise instructor.
When Plumlee Walker rang up, he had a long conversation with Renee on the telephone about what he'd get for his money. Whatever Renee did to him, he wanted to do twice back to her. She didn't agree to that, so he came along to Rotomahana for an introductory session.
Thank you, Jeremy. That was, of course, a quote from Neville Walker, co-accused in the murder of Peter Plumley Walker, along with Renee Chignall. And it's interesting because you don't hear Neville Walker talk much in this whole thing. You don't hear a lot from him when you investigate it because his counsel never put him on the stand and they never put Renee Chignall on the stand. So it's quite interesting to hear him talking so mundanely. about the setting up of this B&D room.
Well, thanks very much. I'm really pleased that you, that's a great, great compliment to my impersonation of Neville Walker there because I thought it was bang on the money. Yeah. And even, did you notice my pronunciation of it, Rotomahana Terrace as well? Not Rotomahana. No. Because in 1989, nobody would have been saying Rotomahana. They would have been calling it Rotomahana.
And whilst we're looking into the mundanity, I guess you'd say, or the sort of nuts and bolts of the operation they're running at Rotomahana Terrace 28A, here is a reading from the advertisement they put in the New Zealand Herald. Basic B&D, bondage and discipline, $130. Basic humiliation, $130. Reduced from $160. That's quite good. So it was on special, wasn't it?
Basic humiliation. Yeah, basic humiliation down $30. Why did they not put basic B&D on special? I don't know.
If only they could have put Neville Walker on the stand, they could have asked him. Did they reduce anything else? Basic bondage was $130 reduced from $180. Oh, that's quite good. $50 off. Basic discipline, Renee, was also $130, and that was reduced from $180. I mean, they've only been business. These are fake reductions. It was always... It was always $130. They're putting these reductions in. I mean, if you're a B&D aficionado, do you care about the reduced price?
Well, maybe it was like Bunnings Warehouse. Maybe it's that situation of if you can tell us what a competitor has a price on, then we'll reduce it by 20%. Gento?
That's genital torture.
Really? Gento.
Gento is genital torture.
Wouldn't Gento be genital torture? Why is it Gento? Is that a typo, do you reckon?
Yeah, I don't know. In the ad, it's Gento, T-O-E. Gento, $180. Gold shower. which you then put in brackets as golden shower, like as if you don't know what a gold shower is. Why don't you just say golden shower in the first place and you could have saved a lot of letters because you're paying by the letter in the paper back there for a classified, aren't you?
You wouldn't be paying much for a golden shower, would you? 200 bucks, mate. What? $200 for a golden shower? Yeah. What are they, dreaming? They're dreaming.
Who's going to pay $200 for a golden shower? Rene Chignol's a professional, mate. $200 for a golden shower. Slave training, $140 to $480.
I don't really know what slave training is. Slave training. So that's where someone becomes your slave and then you get them to do things over time. I think the reason that it's $140 to $480. Depends how long the training goes for.
Yeah, because it can go for days.
