A four year old boy, flown out of the country by his father the day after the murder of his mother, has been found by Fijian Police today.

Detective Senior Sergeant Nigel Keall of the Waikato CIB said the boy was found when Fijian police located his father. NZ Police are currently working to verify the boy's well being.

"The boy's father is a person of interest in relation to the homicide enquiry into the death of his wife, 28-year-old Ranjeeta SHARMA, of South Auckland whose body was found west of Huntly Thursday night.

"Our inquiry is continuing and we are seeking further clarification from Fiji Police of the circumstances surrounding the father being located.

"Until we have had further discussions with Fiji police we are unable to add more at this stage"
