High Court of New Zealand
The 28-year-old man who murdered the backpacker still cannot be named despite being handed a life sentence.
Jurors in Auckland, New Zealand, unanimously agreed that the man, who cannot be named, was guilty of strangling the 21-year-old.
“I thought, ‘this can’t be the way that I die,’” she told Auckland High Court.
The jury was shown footage of the 22-year-old walking arm in arm with the accused.
The 27-year-old defendant claims Millane died during rough, consensual sex at his apartment.
