Police can now
confirm that the body recovered yesterday from a rural area
near Kaitaia is 48-year-old Kimble Moore.
Mr Moore, who
was a patched member of the Tribesmen Motorcycle Club has
been missing since 17 March 2016 and police last month
upgraded the investigation to a homicide.
Our thoughts are
with Mr Moore’s family during what has been a deeply
distressing time for them.
We hope that they will get some
degree of comfort knowing that they will now be able to
bring their whanau member home.
Police focus remains
firmly on the investigation and bringing the person or
persons responsible for his death to justice.
A scene
examination is still underway at the site where the body was
recovered but is expected to be completed later this
evening.
