KEY POINTS:
Macsyna King does not hate Chris Kahui - and does not believe he killed their twins.
Macsyna's younger sister, Emily Hepi, yesterday laughed at the police case, telling the Weekend Herald she and Macsyna were not angry with Chris and "never have been".
Asked why, as he was
accused of being the killer of babies Chris and Cru, she laughed and replied: "No he's not".
Neither was Macsyna the killer, she said.
Ms Hepi refused to reveal who the King family believed the killer was, saying "only that person knows".
During the trial of Mr Kahui, who was acquitted on Thursday, Macsyna came under attack from the defence, which blamed her for the deaths.
Macsyna is living with Ms Hepi and was this week seen holding hands with a younger man as Kahui's trial closed.
She is also caring for one of Ms Hepi's children - just as she has since the day after the twins' fatal injuries were inflicted.
Macsyna has never publicly said who she believed killed the babies, and was not asked directly by the prosecution or defence when she gave evidence against Mr Kahui.
Another friend of Macsyna's, who did not want to be named, said she had wanted Mr Kahui to "get off".
Ms Hepi was particularly unco-operative with the prosecution while in the witness box - but gave Macsyna an alibi.
Her husband, Pouaka Hepi, a former Black Power gang member, refused to give evidence and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Their younger brother, Stuart King, who was in the house when the twins were killed and was a prosecution witness, later came back and sat with Chris Kahui's supporters before the verdict.
His partner is Mona Kahui, Mr Kahui's sister.
After the not guilty verdicts, police were adamant Macsyna was not the killer, and said nobody else would face any charges - such as failing to provide the necessaries of life - in relation to the twins' death.
Ms Hepi said Macsyna would not speak to the Weekend Herald, "not even to say good morning".
She said Macsyna and the family "just want to move on with our lives, without this kicking us in the arse any more".
Ms Hepi said she had supported Macsyna financially for the past two years after Work and Income cut her benefit, and employed her in a painting business as no employer "will touch her with a ten foot barge pole".
"We're not looking for any story. We're not looking for any pity."
