A Police investigation into the death of 2-year-old Bea Daleon is still ongoing.
Inspector Mike Bowman, Acting Area Commander for Southland, says the inquiry is still very much open and staff are continuing to work the case.
"A large police team worked on the initial inquiry and staff are still working on it at this time. While we are not going to comment further on specific individuals who may relevant to our inquiries, what we can say is that we remain committed to bringing the person responsible for Bea’s death to justice and finding answers for her family.
“Cases such as this are however typically complex and take time to investigate. In this case, it has involved inquiries both in New Zealand and overseas, including seeking relevant medical expertise,” Mr Bowman says.
“We are also continuing to liaise through Interpol with the relevant international authorities as part of our inquiries.
“In the meantime, we remain committed to progressing the investigation and building evidence that will support the case. We will also continue to keep Bea’s family informed as we move forward.”
