Grace Millane
The man who murdered British backpacker Grace Millane after meeting her on a dating app has also been convicted of two other violent offences against women.
Jesse Shane Kempson, who New Zealand’s Supreme Court ruled can now be named, was convicted of murdering Ms Millane by strangling her in a hotel in Auckland after meeting her via Tinder on December 1, 2018 – the day before her 22nd birthday.
The 28-year-old has since been convicted of further violent offences in two recent trials, including raping another woman he met on Tinder.
Kempson, who opted for the trials in October and November to be heard before a judge, was convicted of rape last month.
