Already under investigation by Melbourne homicide detectives for his role in the suicide of a local man, euthanasia campaigner Dr Philip Nitschke is now facing possible criminal charges in New Zealand.

Dr. Philip Nitschke has started recruiting the first of four New Zealand voluntary euthanasia advocates who will next year learn how to make a life-ending potion.

Voluntary euthanasia campaigner Lesley Martin walked to freedom from Arohata Women's Prison after 7-1/2 months in jail for the attempted murder of her terminally ill mother, Joy Martin.

Lesley Martin will be married in the school hall at Wanganui Girls College a week today. Three days before the nuptials, Ms Martin, who has been charged with attempting to kill her ill mother, Joy, will appear in the Wanganui District Court for a hearing.
