One of New Zealand’s most-notorious killers has died while serving a life sentence for the death of 6-year-old Teresa Cormack.

Jules Mikus abducted, raped and murdered the Napier girl in 1987. DNA evidence was used to finally catch and jail him 15 years later, in 2002.

A Corrections spokesman confirmed to Stuff Mikus had died in custody at Rimutaka Prison on December 6.

He had been reported as having a brain tumour.

  • At age 14 he raped a girl aged under 12
  • At age 15 he sexually assaulted an adolescent girl
  • At age 18 he indecently assaulted an adolescent girl
  • At age 19 he indecently assaulted an adolescent girl

  • At age 24 he tried to rape a 14 year old girl
