Man arrested following homicide investigation
Canterbury Police have arrested a man following an investigation into the death of Ihaka Paora Braxton Stokes.
Detective Senior Sergeant Michael Ford says “The homicide investigation has led to a man known to the victim being arrested today. For legal reasons we cannot confirm the identity of this man. Canterbury Police investigations will continue to focus on the events which led to Ihaka being taken to hospital on 3 July 2015.”
“We have seven Detectives working full time on Operation Truman and they will continue to work tirelessly to ascertain why a ‘typical’ day ended so tragically for Ihaka” said Detective Senior Sergeant Ford.
A 22 year old man is due to appear in Christchurch District Court tomorrow (16 July 2015) charged with murder.
Due to the operational demands of the investigation Canterbury Police do not have anyone available to undertake media interviews at this time.
