Crimes NZ: Sophie Elliott murder

From Afternoons, 2:30 pm on 27 September 2022

For Crimes NZ this week, we look back at the horror killing of young Dunedin woman, Sophie Elliott.

Since her death at the hands of her former partner, an Otago University tutor, her family have been tirelessly campaigning for changes to prevent another case like hers.

Today her father, Gil Elliott talks to Jesse about the dreadful events of January 2008 and the fight for victims rights and changes to policies to stop academic staff having relationships with students.
