Who is Pauline Hanna’s husband?
When she died in April 2021, Pauline Polkinghorne, also known as Pauline Hanna, was living with her husband, Philip Polkinghorne.
Philip is a retired ophthalmologist from Auckland. When he was with his wife, he was having an affair with someone else.
After Hanna died, he quit his job, moved out of the family home, which was worth $4 million, and moved in with his sister.
Polkinghorne then said, “Our relationship wasn’t going well, it wasn’t even good, it was perfect.”
In October 2021, a high class Australian escort named Madison Ashton helped the team investigate the case. She said Philip was her boyfriend and they had been together for over three years.
