Attributable to Inspector Steve Collins, Nelson Bays Area Commander:
Police continue to make enquiries after the death of two people in a serious incident in Tāhunanui, Nelson, last week.
Our examination at the Parkers Road property has been completed. The scene has been blessed and handed back to the owners.
The post-mortem examinations have also been completed.
Police continue to gather information, which will be provided to the Coroner.
We also continue to provide support to the loved ones of those who died.
I would like to acknowledge the effect of this incident on the Nelson community, who have no doubt been shaken by this traumatic incident, and thank those who have rallied together to support those affected.
