Christopher Martin "Marty" Johnstone (1951–1979) was a New Zealand drug trafficker born in Auckland who was called "Mr Asia" by the Auckland Star newspaper in August 1978 in a series of articles by Pat Booth.
[1] In October 1979, Johnstone was lured to Britain on the pretext of a drug deal to take place in Scotland.
He was murdered by Andy Maher, by order of Terrance John Clark, and his handless body was dumped in Eccleston Delph, Lancashire.
[2] Maher cut off Johnstone's hands and mutilated his face in a vain attempt to foil dental identification by the police.
[3] Terry Clark, along with four others, was subsequently convicted of murdering Johnstone and was sentenced to life imprisonment.
