On 7 November 2011, eighteen-year-old Christie Alexis Lesley Marceau[3] (/ˈmɑːrsoʊ/, born 16 April 1993[1]) was stabbed to death by eighteen-year-old Akshay Anand Chand (born 11 November[3] or 11 December 1992[4]) at her home in Hillcrest, Auckland, New Zealand. The murder came after Chand had kidnapped and assaulted Marceau in September 2011, and while awaiting trial on the charges, was bailed by the court to an address just 300 metres (1,000 ft) from Marceau's home, despite calls from Christie and the police to not grant bail.[5] Chand was subsequently charged with Marceau's murder, but on 17 October 2012 was acquitted of her murder by reason of insanity. He was subsequently sentenced to three years imprisonment for kidnapping and was committed to a psychiatric hospital indefinitely.[6]
Following the death, Christie's parents Brian and Tracey Marceau started a campaign in conjunction with the Sensible Sentencing Trust to change legislation to introduce more stringent bail laws and increase the accountability of judges.[7]
