Paul Tainui - also known as Paul Wilson - raped and murdered 27-year-old Christchurch woman Nicole Tuxford, while on parole for a rape and murder in 1994.
The news he'd killed again was too much for his first victim's father - who died by suicide.
Coroner Marcus Elliott's ruled the management of Tainui, contributed to the deaths.
He's recommended changes to Corrections practices, and the Parole Act, in a bid to avoid similar deaths in future.
