Detective Donavan Aiken has told the High Court in Christchurch, as well as searches referencing kidnapping and necrophilia the month before - Marong read articles about the murders of Mellory Manning and Susie Sutherland.

22-year-old Miss Duckmanton was last seen on the corner of Peterborough and Manchester streets in the heart of the city's red light district.

He says there was also significant online activity after her death.

"The 18th of May, 2016, at 9:32 am, there's a Google search for 'how was Robertson captured after killing and raping an Auckland woman'."

Detective Aitken says this relates to the murder of Auckland woman Blessie Gotingco by Tony Robertson.
