''In this local documentary series, forensic psychologist Nigel Latta examines the lives of six of New Zealand's worst murderers.

“In 2006, Bernard McGrath, an ex-Catholic brother of the Order of St John of God in New Zealand, was found guilty of 21 charges of sexually abusing boys at Marylands School in Christchurch in the 1970s.

“In this episode of REAL CRIME: BEYOND THE DARKLANDS, clinical psychologist Nigel Latta examines why McGrath started abusing children, how he managed to silence his victims - and how he continued to abuse for more than two decades.

“Latta goes behinds the headlines and talks to McGrath's victims - men who speak bravely and openly, but admit that their lives were shattered by their time in his care.'' - TVNZ; tvnz.co.nz; 9/07/2009
