A woman charged in connection to the alleged murder of a young police officer in the Auckland suburb of Massey has been granted bail. Natalie Jane Bracken was charged with being an accessory after the fact of the alleged murder. Today, Bracken's lawyer Adam Couchman applied in the High Court at Auckland for his client to be granted electronically monitored bail. Judge Shortland noted that her identity was "all over social media" after police released her name and photograph in a bid to find her. The reality is it's all over social media," he said.
