The man who murdered British backpacker Grace Millane is due to be named tomorrow morning unless New Zealand's top court intervenes.
In August, the killer took his case to the Court of Appeal in an attempt to overturn his murder conviction and sentence.
The court will release its decision tomorrow morning at 11am.
Today, the Court of Appeal's President Justice Stephen Kós, alongside Justice Patricia Courtney and Justice Mark Cooper, also ruled the murderer's interim name suppression will lapse at the same time.
The killer can still, however, ask the Supreme Court before 11am for an order continuing suppression until a second appeal is heard.
