The family of the man charged over the killing of British tourist Grace Millane has made an impassioned plea for people to reserve judgement. A relative of the accused, who can't be identified for legal reasons, has posted a lengthy statement online. They say they're sorry for the Millane family's loss and that she didn't deserve what happened to her. They add that the whole of New Zealand, and especially the accused's family, are broken-hearted. After learning of the arrest, they hardly slept - and bawled their eyes out. The relative says, if the allegations against the accused are proven to be true, they are despicable, atrocious and disgusting.
Grace Millane's body was also formally identified today, and returned to her family. Vigils are being held throughout New Zealand tonight in her honour.
Also today, key questions remain unanswered after a third inquest into the death of a diver in North Canterbury, and a Consumer NZ report into sunscreen reveals six out of 10 products did not meet their label claims.
