He had been on parole for the 1994 murder of his ex-girlfriend Kimberley Schroder in Hokitika at the time and will spend at least 28 years behind bars for Ms Tuxford's murder. This afternoon Detective Inspector Darryl Sweeney fronted media over police's handling of Wilson, the night before the murder. No-one could have predicted what he did next, Mr Sweeney said, and the police staff who dealt with him had been affected by Ms Tuxford's murder.
