    A convicted killer and rapist who's admitted a second murder will be sentenced today

    A convicted killer and rapist who's admitted a second murder will be sentenced today


    Paul Tainui will appear in the High Court in Christchurch - after pleading guilty to murdering and raping 27-year-old Nicole Tuxford at her Merivale home.

    Tainui formerly went by the name of Paul Wilson.

    In 1995, he raped and murdered his former girlfriend Kimberly Jean Schroder in Hokitika.

    Both women were raped and had their throats cut.

    Tainui served 13 years for the murder - before he was paroled in 2011.
