Jesse Shane Kempson strangled Grace Millane in December 2018, a day before she was due to turn 22.

In February, Kempson was jailed for a minimum of 17 years for murdering Miss Millane in his hotel room in Auckland in December 2018.

The Millane family said they "do not think about him or speak his name".

In October, Kempson was convicted of eight charges relating to various attacks including using a knife against a woman between November 2016 and April 2017.

In November, Kempson was convicted by a separate judge sitting alone of raping another woman on their first and only date in April 2018.

Kempson, who had worked in various sales jobs, met both of the women through the dating app Tinder, as he had Miss Millane.

The 11-year jail term for these nine offences - all committed while he was living in Auckland - will be served after his sentence for Miss Millane's murder.

In a statement, the Millane family said the suppression of Kempson's name had "allowed people to remember Grace - a young, vibrant girl who set out to see the world, instead of the man who took her life".
