Grace Millane, 22, was visiting New Zealand when she was murdered. Her attacker pleaded not guilty to murder, saying she died accidentally during consensual sex, but a jury rejected his defence and convicted him in November.
“These women are killed in extraordinary and sustained violence – Grace was strangled for between five and 10 minutes,” said the group’s founder Fiona Mackenzie. Under British law, a person cannot consent to being seriously hurt. But the defence offers a potential loophole by arguing the death - often from strangling - was an accident.
“Although the man has to admit that he caused injuries which led to the woman’s death, he claims that it was not his fault, as it was a ‘sex game gone wrong’. She, of course, is not there to say otherwise.”
