Grace Millane. BBC & ITV Refuse to name NZ Killer! Why?

jaymailsays

Is it is a UK media stitch up to protect the warped kiwi who killed a young UK backpacker on her Birthday.
Name him! Shame him!
UK newspapers are naming him and showing full face images of him.

Long live our free UK press.

"The Crown successfully argued that Kempson, who had an order banning his identification in New Zealand, strangled her and shoved her body inside a suitcase before burying her in a forested area outside Auckland."

He had googled 'disposing of a corpse' and 'flesh eating birds'

I guess he is what is known as a psychopath or sociopath - they have no feelings for anyone except themselves, will do anything to achieve their ends and it was certainly premeditated. Not sure these people ever change so hope he stays locked up for many years.

I don't understand why people aren't identified, even children. If they are dangerous and have a history then the public need to be kept informed! There might be other crimes that haven't yet been attributed to them and a lack of transparency could prevent this happening?

jaymailsays What difference would knowing his name make to you?

UK media stitch up? Apparently it's a court order...

NZ Court Suppression Orders apply only in NZ not in the UK.

jaymailsays Is the BBC News website not available in NZ? That's the problem with the internet.

extreme_one Why give them what they want?

Whilst you make a good point, the oxygen of publicity allows those that were previously in NZ backpacking and assaulted by him to come forward or families who have missing loved ones to potentially have closure. Justice ought to be seen to be done in serious cases like this.

frenchielove parents must be broken completely

Indeed.

mikewhiteoliver That's the problem with the internet.

I don't see it as a problem, although the Government in China do.

mikewhiteoliver Is the BBC News website not available in NZ?

I was referring to the UK digital tv news channels, not their websites.

That would only be an issue if the BBC News website was located in NZ, which it isn't.

NZ law only applies to NZ. There is no legal reason why the BBC can't be like all the other UK news organisations that have published name and photo of the murderer.

Sometimes these killers seek the notoriety their heinous crimes give them, they actually want their name to be on people's lips.

Why give them what they want?

extreme_one His being sentenced in February is probably why there is name suppression. After that, morbid fascinations should be satisfied.

nefarius

The identity of Grace Millane's murderer cannot be disclosed for now due to a court suppression order that bans media from naming and picturing him.

Ever heard of respecting other country's laws and reasons? jaymailsays

Why do you need to know? Odd?

No killer deserves anonymity. That poor girls family, I really feel for them.
How on earth you can justify giving a killer protection, I'll never know.

jaymailsays

nefarius Why do you need to know? Odd?

I already know his full name and what he looks like. If Syria banned reporting of using chemical weapons, I'd expect the BBC whom I financially support to ignore the daft law. NZ seems to be afraid of an open society. Seems they have seen a lot of senseless murders recently and getting anonymity may be a step too far for those convicted.

nefarius

jaymailsays You seem to know what you are talking about.

Try not to worry about it. I assume you are not a NZ citizen, have never visited and never will, so try not to worry about it.

I've worked in NZ so I tend to take an interest when a young British woman is murdered as part of a perverted and orchestrated cover up. This is a leading news item on all UK outlets, luckily newspapers are ignoring the nonsensical ban on naming the psycho who his brother describes as a pathological liar.

nefarius

jaymailsays Unfortunately, you will have to wait for the BBC report to publish his name as they are respecting NZ law until after sentencing in February I presume.
Try taking a laissez faire approach.

jaymailsays

nefarius
Not my nature!

You seem to have settled for that in NZ.

Wonder how many more he killed?

nefarius

jaymailsays Wonder how many more he killed?

Never thought of that. Bit morbid see.

I know it isn't in your nature.

Yes, laissez faire is good.

Thank you for your unfounded concerns about NZ.

jaymailsays

nefarius Yes, laissez faire is good.

Thank you for your unfounded concerns about NZ.

laissez faire = The policy of leaving things to take their own course, without interfering.

Kiwis seem a bit too expert at that! Christchurch Massacre of Muslims:-

50 murdered in Christchurch

Why did New Zealand intelligence fail to catch attack suspect?

nefarius

jaymailsays I think you need to take care of the longer list in the UK.
Enough one upmanship eh?

Like someone else has said some killers "get off" on being named.. That's what they want.. To be someone.

That poor poor girl and her family 😢..

No parent should have to experience details of their daughter's ordeal in a courtroom.
