Police investigating the murder of Grace Millane are now looking for a shovel, believed to be related to her murder. They are looking for a red Atlas Trade hardwood long-handle, round-mouth shovel. It could be anywhere between Scenic Drive, where her body was discovered, and central Auckland. Detective Inspector Scott Beard says someone may have come across it and taken it home - and they'd like to speak to that person, or anyone who's seen it. The scene examination at Scenic Drive is now complete. Detective Beard says he's reluctant to give any details, but he has confirmed Grace’s body was intact when recovered.
Also today, shocking family violence statistics have been revealed, showing police investigated one family harm case every four minutes last year. More than a third of women experience physical sexual partner violence, and one in 10 men have experienced childhood sexual abuse.
