Photo / ODTThe family of a young woman murdered by her jealous partner say they are the ones doing a life sentence. Samuel Moses Samson was found guilty of the murder of Invercargill mum Azalia Wilson last year and sentenced to a 17-year minimum non-parole jail period last year. Wilson's whānau said Samson's appeal is a constant reminder of the irreversible loss they felt at the hands of a violent man. "We're the ones doing the life sentence, not him," father Tony Wilson said to Open Justice. Wilson's daughter Kiara-May will never have a mother, and Samson's appeal to reduce his sentence continues to revictimise the family.
