Slain backpacker's family will attend trial

The family of slain Scottish backpacker Karen Aim arrives in the country today, with her father vowing to sit through each day of the murder trial.

"The main question for me is how was Karen killed?" Brian Aim told the Herald.

"Was she chased and terrorised, or was she clubbed from behind and never knew it had happened? I hope that question will be answered through the trial. It may not be but I am quite determined to hear as much as I can of the trial. I might not be able to face it."

A year after Karen's January 17 killing - while on a working holiday in Taupo - the family still think about her every day.
