Please attribute to Detective Inspector Scott Beard:
?
Police have been made aware today that the defendant in the Grace Millane homicide has been named on social media accounts in New Zealand.?
?
Although the homicide trial concluded yesterday, a suppression order which prevents naming the defendant remains in place and will do so until lifted by the court.?
?
While we appreciate the public feeling around this case, we do want to remind the public that it is an offence to breach a court order such as a name suppression - this includes naming someone on social media.?
