Double tragedy for Walker family
Tragedy also struck Walker's family eight years ago, when her father Brendon (39), also known as Frog, was killed on a farm near Kaikoura when electrocuted by a fallen power line while checking on stock.
Her mother, Sarah, was knocked unconscious and burned when she went to help.
