Operation Bastille update
8 August
2014
The man killed in Papatoetoe yesterday evening was 35
year old Davender Singh
of Papatoetoe.
Mr Singh’s body is undergoing a post mortem examination today.
Police
were unable to interview Mr Singh’s partner last night due
to the
distressed state she was in but hope to be able to
speak to her today at
length about what occurred.
Based
on what she was able to tell Police last night, Police are
seeking a
third person in relation to Mr Singh's death.
Other than the fact his
person is a male Police have no
other description available.
Due to the nature of Mr
Singh's injuries, Police believe that this male
would
have had blood on his clothing. We are appealing
to the public for
sightings of:
•Any person that
arrived home last night and aroused suspicion by
washing
clothing or putting clothing in the
rubbish
•Any person that arrived home last night and
had signs of blood on their
person or clothing
•Any
bloodstained clothing located discarded
•Any sharp
objects located discarded
A team of twenty Detectives are
working on the case and the immediate
priorities today
will be to complete a thorough search of the scene
and
surroundings.
Police are also interested in hearing
form any businesses that have CCTV
footage available of
Norman Spencer Drive, Papatoetoe.
