Grace Millane (2 December 1996 – November or December 2018)[1][2] was a British backpacker who was murdered in New Zealand.
Personal life
Grace Millane was born in Essex, England, to property developer David Millar. She graduated from the University of Lincoln. She takes an annual trip to New Zealand and South America.[2]
Death
Millane entered Auckland, New Zealand, on 20 November. She was declared missing on 1 December.[2] She was last seen at 9:41 pm on Queen Street in Auckland's CBD with a man now under suspicion for her murder. They are believed to have met earlier at SkyCity.[1]
Police started investigating after Millane was reported missing by her parents on 1 December 2018. Her parents became especially concerned after she did not reply to birthday wishes they sent her on 2 December. The hotel she was staying at reported that she did not go back to her room on 1 December.[1]
Police initially said that there was "no evidence of foul play", but later gathered evidence that we was "no longer alive".[1]
Suspect
A 26-year-old man was taken into custody and later appeared in court on 10 December 2018.[3]
Reactions
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern made a public apology to the family of Millane on 10 December, saying that "your daughter should have been safe here".[3]
