Convicted sex offender Stewart Murray Wilson was first sentenced in 1996 to 21 years in prison ... for drugging, assaulting and raping several women.
He was released in 2012, to live in a cottage on Whanganui Prison grounds, with the most stringent conditions ever imposed on a New Zealander.
He was jailed again in 2018, for historic charges of raping a woman, a then nine-year-old girl, and attempting to rape a third woman in the 1970s and 80s.
A Corrections spokesman confirmed he died in hospital this morning, from what appears to be natural causes.
