    The mother who was killed along with her daughter and niece in a Waiuku car accident on Tuesday - worked for the Auckland courts


    Frances Sesi Latu-Vailea died with her daughter, Oneahi , and niece, Marly Tulua, when their car plunged into a creek.

    Ministry of Justice Chief Executive Andrew Kibblewhite says Latu-Vailea was a Court Registry Officer for the Family Court - who worked across many Auckland locations.

    He says the tragedy will have a huge impact on many people - and deepest condolences are with her immediate and extended family.
