Police investigate death in Te Awamutu
Police
continuing to investigate the death of a man outside a
property in Te
Awamutu yesterday evening are treating the
death as a homicide.
An altercation took place about
6:45pm on Sunday, July 23, outside 51 North
Road, Te
Awamutu.
It appears that subsequent to this, an adult male has died.
Police have been in touch with the man's family
and are offering them
support, however, it's hoped formal
identification will be completed later
today.
Forensic
teams have been at the scene today - including detectives,
ESR, and
photography - and they are likely to be at the
scene for a number of days.
At this stage, we anticipate a
post-mortem will take place in Auckland
tomorrow, which
will help assist us in determining the cause of
death.
This is currently being treated as a homicide investigation.
We ask that any witnesses to what happened,
or anyone with any information,
to contact Te Awamutu
Police on (07) 872 0100, or Crimestoppers, anonymously
if
necessary, on 0800 555
111.
