Twenty four years on? and an almost identical brutal murder in the South Island, by the same killer
20 February 2019
55-year-old Paul Tainui has pleaded guilty to raping and murdering a Christchurch Life Coach - 27-year-old Nicole Tuxford in her Merivale home in April last year.
But it's happened before.
He served 13 of his 15 years for raping and cutting the throat of Kimberly Schroder on the West Coast in 1995.
Tainui was permanently banned from the Coast - living in Christchurch for the past few years.
The family of his second victim was silent today, as he pleaded guilty in the High Court in Christchurch.
