Homicide victim identified

5 September 2013 - Steven Harris, 54 and of no fixed abode was the man attacked in Auckland's Myer's Park between about 11.20pm and 11.30pm last night. Mr Harris died a short time later in Auckland Hospital.

Police investigating his death are still examining the scene where he was attacked but anticipate reopening most of the park to the public early this evening.

Acting Detective Inspector John Sutton said the investigation team is still anxious to hear from anyone, particularly two Asian men and an Asian woman, who were in Myers Park at or about the time Mr Harris was attacked as they may prove to be valuable witnesses to some events. Anyone with information should contact the Operation Marion team on 09 302 6516 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
