Why is the name of the man who murdered Grace Millane kept secret?

[WomanBornNotWorn]

He is not underage, so what are they hiding?

But his identity can be kept secret in that legal action should it be required.

@Usernumbers1234 ah I see you’re right....just a standard scumbag.

His stepbrother certainly has the measure of him.

He labelled Kempson a ‘pathological liar that lies over pointless things and continues to lie until the point where he has got no out, absolutely no out, and then he just breaks down and cries and runs away'

It's all over everyone's favourite news source, the DM.

Yep front page of daily mail - big picture too

If name suppression ensures a fair trial, and a guilty verdict, I am OK with it.

His name will now come out - and he will be shamed in the way poor Grace and her family have been.

I'm in NZ and when I enter his name in google, the various news stories come up, but I can't access most of the pages, including the DM.

I was with friends last night - and the sheer relief we all felt when the verdict was announced ....

This is what our daughter face, will be facing, and it's not OK. I really hope a clear message has been sent with this verdict.

Appealing the sentence

Name still suppressed?

It may be supressed now but back in November it wasn't! It's still there in the headline in The Standard!

I was going to mention the different New Zealand legislation too but I see others have done this already. I understand his name will be released in New Zealand once the other trial is concluded.

The case highlights the importance of all countries legislating against the consensual rough sex defence. I so admire the work that Karen Ingala Smith and others have done over the years to expose this so-called 'defence'

Is there any details on this "other" trial in the news?

As far as I know it is a similar offence Sonic

Oh right @CuriousaboutSamphire the article I read today still didn’t name the culprit, how strange

Or The Standard have messed up by not removing it!

Didn't the NZ prime minister refuse to name this man, on the basis if you name the perpetrator then it validates the person?

Bastard, how dare he appeal , poor Grace, it’s terrible her family having to deal with this again.

Ah! Like the man who killed John Lennon?

I never did understand why he is now named...
