The homicide investigation underway in Raumanga is continuing to make progress, after a man died on Saturday night.
Police are continuing to urge those in the community with information or footage to come forward and assist the investigation.
Northland District Crime Manager Detective Inspector Dene Begbie says the investigation team are working hard to piece together the facts of what lead to the man’s death.
We have established the deceased has been seriously assaulted and that the people involved in the assault have also been struck with a vehicle.
“There are a number of aspects we are not in a position to comment on publicly in our investigation, however we do not believe this incident is gang-related.
“We are following positive lines of enquiry and are committed to holding those responsible to account.”
Detective Inspector Begbie says at the centre of this investigation is a man who has lost his life.
“His family are understandably devastated by what has occurred. At this stage, Police are not in a position to name the victim but we will look to do so in due course.”
