Candlelit vigils to be held for Grace Millane

From Morning Report, 6:10 am on 11 December 2018

Candlelit vigils are being organised around the country to honour the 22-year-old British backpacker Grace Millane. Ms Millane's body was discovered on Sunday afternoon, in an area of bush just 10 metres off the road, in the Waitakere Ranges. A 26-year-old man has been charged with her murder and appeared in court on Monday. Dr Siouxsie Wiles is involved in planning the Auckland vigil, which will be held on Wednesday night. She says it's not just about remembering Grace, but all women who have been killed in New Zealand this year.
