    Napier schoolgirl Teresa Cormack murderer dying in prison from brain tumour

    The man who murdered Napier schoolgirl Teresa Cormack and avoided arrest for more than 15 years is dying from a brain tumour in prison


    Jules Mikus was sentenced to life in prison and preventive detention in October 2002.

    Six-year-old Teresa's body was found face down in a shallow grave near Napier eight days after she disappeared in June 1987.

    A jury also found Mikus guilty of raping, sexually violating, and detaining the girl against her will.

    Mikus is being treated in a medical unit at Rimutaka Prison.
