Andrew LittleNew Zealand's Justice Minister says UK media naming the man accused of murdering British backpacker Grace Millane is potentially jeopardising a fair trial, which could heap more misery on her family. Little issued a stern warning, but acknowledged that British media were outside the jurisdiction of New Zealand courts. “The international media, particularly the British media, are not helping the Millane family. If the media are concerned about justice and doing justice for the Millane family, they should stop publishing details. National leader Simon Bridges, a former Crown prosecutor, said suppression orders had a place but would not go as far as asking British media to stop naming the accused.
