Grace Millane trial: Jury hears murder-accused's police interviews

From Morning Report, 8:25 am on 13 November 2019

The jury in the trial of the man accused of murdering the British backpacker Grace Millane will watch continue watching his first police interview today.

It's now the second week of the 27-year-old's trial in the High Court at Auckland - which has heard from forensic experts, police officers and women who met the man through Tinder - as Ms Millane did.

Yesterday, the Crown began to play the man's first interview with the police - which was the third occasion he had lied about the last time he saw Ms Millane.

RNZ court reporter Anneke Smith has been covering this case and joins us now.
