    The daughter of a Christchurch pensioner killed by her mental health patient gardener, says she was shocked to learn he'd killed before

    The daughter of a Christchurch pensioner killed by her mental health patient gardener, says she was shocked to learn he'd killed before


    Elliott Cameron has been sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Frances Phelps - known as Faye - at Mount Pleasant in October.

    The lifting of a 50-year-old suppression order means Newstalk ZB can now report he'd killed his brother, as he slept, in 1975.

    Newstalk ZB's Claire Sherwood says Faye Phelps' daughter Karen says her mother had no idea of his history.

    She says he was an odd character, but nothing about him had indicated the violence he might inflict.

    Karen Phelps now wants Hillmorton Hospital to realise the impact of their decisions around his care.
