Kate* met Grace Millane’s killer on Tinder while her body still lay in his apartment.
She had no idea the guy opposite her sipping on his beer on a Sunday afternoon had strangled the British backpacker the night before – but it didn’t take long for her to realise she was unnerved by him.
Writing for Newshub, the anonymous author, who we’re calling Kate, wants to warn women to always “trust your instincts”.
Watch: New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s message to Grace’s family. Post continues after video.
Grace Millane’s killer was found guilty last month of murdering the 21-year-old in December 2018, hiding her body in a suitcase and dumping it in bushland outside Auckland, New Zealand. Her body wasn’t found until eight days after their date.
Kate thinks she’s the first person this man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, had a proper conversation with after he committed the unspeakable act.

God this is disturbing on so many levels. His attempt at an alibi was so disrespectful for her memory and just plain idiotic. If it was hard for a man to watch a woman dying there's always the obvious option of just removing his hands from her neck. It takes a lot of strength to kill someone by strangulation, you don't just do it by accident.
