The original Monster
Paul David Bailey was born and raised in England til 1972
when the family moved to New Zealand for 7yrs before returning back to England
in 1979-1981
Paul Bailey liked school girls it was evident in the fact
that his wife Rose was 14 when she ran off with Bailey who was 21
Rose Shortland lived in motueka in the 80's she had left
school and to keep Bailey happy he bought her a school uniform for her to wear
when he was having sex with her.
Paul’s mother whom Paul later said he had a very strange
relationship with his mother and father which seemed to have begun in England .
Paul told a friend that his mother was very ‘harsh’
Paul’s mother was Doreen when she saw that Paul had bought
Rose a school uniform she got one as well for herself as later revealed by Paul’s wife Rose, Doreen had said that her
husband liked school uniforms on girl and it was like father like son ( both child
predators)
For unknown reasons
when Rose was 14/15 her and Paul fled to Ettrick with their infant son. Rose
had become use to her husbands sexual fantasies, but those fantasies took a
dark turn after the once the couple and their 2 infant children moved to
Ettrick in late 1988.
Bailey a charming man befriended a 12yr old girl, he would
take her to his house to smoke weed with himself and his wife Rose. Around the
same time the couples young daughter
Linda died of severe burns when her bassinet caught fire in their kitchen,
witnesses claimed it had been deliberately left on the oven elements by Bailey,
but he denied this saying it was on the kitchen bench and the elements were on
to warm the kitchen. The baby’s death
was eventually ruled accidental
though some including firefighters had
their doubts.
Bailey started to drink heavily and began to share whisky
with the 12yr old girl that he was grooming. She began to stay overnight with
the rouse of babysitting, her father ignorant of what was really happening .
Bailey soon subjected her to sexual encounters while she was
on pills and alcohol, he had given to her his fetish later coming to the
forefront as he asked her to keep her school uniform on. The sexual encounters
became increasingly more often and more
violent.
According to her
police statement Bailey first raped her at knifepoint in a tool shed where she
said there was an old mattress on the floor and pornographic pictures on the
walls. On holiday with the couple in Nelson he repeatedly raped her again, the
girl said he had a thing for ‘rivers’ – conditions similar to where Kylie met
her end.
Rose herself damaged by Bailey claimed she was ‘out of it’
on drugs and alcohol during that period and said at one stage she told the girl
to lay a rape complaint with the police.
Horrifyingly Paul’s mother knew what he was doing to this
poor girl but didn’t deem it serious enough to report it.
Bailey told this girl and Rose that he has murdered someone
in England by shooting him on a rugby field ( NZ police made enquires with their UK counterparts later after Kylies
death but no evidence of such a murder was ever found ) he probably said this
to keep them scared and afraid of him.
Two months before Kylies murder Paul Bailey now 27 sexually
assaulted a 23yr old Ettrick women after she offered him a ride home from the
pub.
Paul lead her down gravel roads away from his house cos Paul
told her lived somewhere else, they parked in front of some old huts but
instead of getting out Bailey got
aggressive and told her he was going to rape her. Petrified she managed to flee
to a house but as she screamed he muffled her cries putting his hand over her
mouth before pushing her back onto the car . He drove her to a nearby hut
dragged her inside and attempted to sexually assault her. The violence only stopped when neighbor’s
noticed the lights and came out to investigate.
Later Bailey would claim he blacked out from alcohol and
doesn’t remember any of it .
The traumatized woman complained to the police but Bailey
would deny a charge of attempted rape in the Alexander court.
When the court granted him name suppression on the 26th
September and released him on bail it
would set in motion a turn of events that would lead to kylies murder and
ignite a tinderbox of anger.
THE PASTOR
18 months before Kylie’s murder a young Pastor, his wife and two young children arrived
in Owaka to begin their teachings as the churches new pastor. The people anf community
of Owaka was very welcoming ( back then people were very friendly and open to new
people moving to rural communities)
It was a Sunday two weeks before the murder that the pastor met
Paul Bailey and his family in the pews. ( by now Paul was 27 and his wife Rose was
20) Bailey seemed friendly and his wife Rose was warm and well spoken.
A member of the Baptist church in another congregation in Roxburgh
rang the pastor and said he understood that
Bailey was living in the area and might need some help.
A week later Bailey told
the pastor him and his wife were living in kaka point and needed a car and a job.
The pastor and his wife agreed to help the struggling young family because “ That’s what churches do – they help people” ( I have
given the Pastor and his family name suppression to protect him and his families safety)
It was then that Bailey admitted to the pastor that he was on
bail from can incident in Ettrick but claimed he had been falsely accused of indecently assaulting a woman – he said that she had ‘ made it up ‘
and he only tried to ‘kiss and cuddle her’. Uneasy about these allegations the pastor did ask the Balcutha Police about him,
but they couldn’t tell him anything, and the Pastor began to believe Baileys version
of events, citing the police would have told him if they had concerns about Bailey.
( back them most police districts never actually communicated with each other and
therefore the Balcutha police didn’t know
anything about this incident).
The week before Kylies death the Pastor drove Bailey to his court hearing in Alexander
hoping to learn more about the incident.
The judge said there was insufficient evidence to proceed and
adjourned the proceedings. The Pastor still unaware of what Bailey had done, felt
more reassured of Baileys story, - entirely of how skilled a manipulator and lier
Bailey really was.
The Pastor and his wife set about helping the young family passing
on details of a local who had a blue Volkswagen
for sale. Several times they welcomed Bailey and his family into their home
in the days before Kylies death.
They wondered why the kids would flinch when he made quick movements,
Rose told them that Paul got aggressive when
he was drunk.
The Pastor helped him find work repairing a drain for Ian Wallace
the local pharmacist.
Wallace found him to be hard working and asked him what he was
going to court for, “you name it except drugs and violence” Bailey told him, Wallace
said he assumed that when Bailey moved to Owaka he had left that side of himself
behind and came there for a fresh start.
The day before Kylies murder Bailey had ended up working along
side Kylies dad at Wallace’s property where
Kylies dad Bevan was contracted to lay pipe.
On the 1st November Bailey pulled up to the pastors
house shortly after 2pm and the couple saw him fiddling with something in the front
seat of the car. He helped the pastor that
day to load a gun cabinet into the pastors car to take to Balcutha sports shop.
When the pastor left Bailey was talking to his wife. The Pastor didn’t know that
the object Bailey was fiddling with was
.22 sawn off rifle, and that what he was planning could have meant grave danger
for his wife.
