On 13 June 2006, upon returning home after a night of partying, King found that the twins suffered extensive bruises and that their grandfather, William "Banjo" Kahui, had performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on them. Police said Banjo was not the only person in the house at the time. According to former MP John Tamihere, members of Chris Kahui's extended family had said "a young relative", whom they refused to name, was caring for the infants on the day they were fatally injured. King and Kahui took their children to the family's general practitioner, who ordered immediate hospitalisation for the infants. The coroner made a finding that Kahui refused to take the children to hospital, running away from the family car and leaving a distraught King carrying the twins in their carriers into the hospital on her own.
