By Daisy Hudson of The death of killer Dunedin doctor Venod Skantha has forced a review of how courts communicate with prisons. Convicted murderer Venod Skantha died at Otago Corrections Facility this week. Photo: Otago Daily Times / Stephen Jaquiery Questions have been raised as to how Otago Corrections Facility staff were not aware a Court of Appeal decision rejecting Skantha's appeal bid had been released on Wednesday. Skantha, who was convicted of murdering Dunedin teenager Amber-Rose Rush in 2018, is believed to taken his own life at the prison near Milton in South Otago just hours after learning of the decision to uphold his conviction.
