Fugitive NZ murderer Phillip Smith deported from Brazil
A New Zealand man serving a life term for child molestation and murder who fled to Brazil has been deported to his home country, officials say.
Phillip Smith, 40, was escorted by police officers onto a plane that left Rio de Janeiro for Auckland via the Chilean capital, Santiago.
Smith used a passport in his birth name, Phillip Traynor, to fly to Chile and then on to Brazil on 6 November.
He escaped while on a three-day release from a prison south of Auckland.
Smith was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1996 after he murdered the father of a 13-year-old boy he had sexually abused between 1992 and 1995.
The family had moved house but he had tracked the boy to their new home in Wellington in December 1995.
He repeatedly stabbed the father, killing him. The boy managed to escaped and raise the alarm.
