As put by Detective Senior Sergeant Peter Middlemiss
Police are continuing to investigate the death of Barry Hall in Titahi Bay on Friday 7 July.
While no arrests have been made at this stage, we have a team actively working on the investigation and following strong lines of enquiry.
We believe the person responsible for his death was known to Mr Hall and there are still people who know what happened that are yet to come forward.
We are continuing to appeal for information from the public to assist our enquiries.
We particularly want to hear from anyone who was in the Owhiti Street area on the afternoon/evening of Friday 7 July, who may have seen or heard something relevant to the investigation.
