Mr. Hillyer, 47, will apply for Australian citizenship “sooner rather than later,” he said, especially after hearing of New Zealanders who had been unable to access certain benefits related to disability and health.

Ms Hillyer also commended the work of her colleague Det Con Adam Clarke who she said "worked tirelessly" on the case.

"I want to praise the bravery demonstrated by the victim in this case for coming forward," said Det Sgt Carla Hillyer, of Essex Police, who said Boyle was still working as a lawyer at the time of his arrest.
