Brother pays tribute to murdered Grace Millane

THE brother of British backpacker Grace Millane has paid tribute after police found what they believe to be her body near a beauty spot on the outskirts of Auckland.

A 26-year-old man has been charged with the murder of the 22-year-old and is due to appear at Auckland District Court today.

Declan Millane shared pictures on social media of him and his sister and added the lyrics of You Are My Sunshine.

Detectives said they had identified a “location of interest” after the investigation led them to a spot on Scenic Drive, a country road about 12 miles west of the city centre, on Saturday.

A stretch of the road was closed yesterday while forensics officers scoured the area.
