Anne Perry, formerly known as Juliet Hulme - who served jail time along with Pauline Parker for the notorious murder of Parker's mother in Christchurch's Port Hills - has died, aged 84.
Perry was 15 and Parker 16 when they lured Parker's mother to Victoria Park where they murdered her with a brick to prevent their separation.
Hulme subsequently changed her name to Anne Perry, before moving to the UK where she forged a career as the prolific writer of best-selling crime novels.
New Zealand writer Joanne Drayton wrote a biography on Perry.
She spoke to Corin Dann.
