Police enquiries are ongoing as we work to identify the offender sought in relation to the Sandringham homicide investigation.

An investigation was launched after the tragic death of a man on Wednesday night following an incident on Haverstock Road.

A post-mortem examination is being conducted today (Friday).

Police want to acknowledge residents living within the cordon and the surrounding areas and thank them for their cooperation.

Cordons remain in place and are expected to be lifted later today or tomorrow. 

We would like to thank all those who have already contacted Police with information.

Police still need to hear from anyone who witnessed the altercation that occurred around 100m from the dairy, or believe they saw the offender on foot, before or after the incident.  

We also continue to appeal to those in the community who know who the offender is, to do the right thing and contact us.

Police have also set up an online portal for people to upload footage. People can upload photos or video by going to https://bluebell.nc3.govt.nz

We are continuing to ask people with information to contact us via 105 or online at https://www.police.govt.nz/use-105, using ‘Update My Report’. Please quote file number 221123/3847.
