    • Teen crash victim's last message

Tauranga police arrested a 20-year-old Auckland man after interviewing him when he was discharged from hospital today. He has been charged with two counts of manslaughter and is scheduled to appear in the Tauranga District Court tomorrow.

Police would not reveal the relationship between him and the two sisters.

Merepeka Morehu Clark, aged 14 and her sister Brooklyn Morehu Clark aged 13 have been formally identified by police as those killed in the horrific crash near Tauranga.

Police said the crash happened when a speeding car passed another on Welcome Bay Rd and collided head-on with a third vehicle.

Four people were taken to hospital. One was a two-year-old girl who was flown to Starship Hospital in Auckland where she remains, but was improving, police spokeswoman Kim Perks said.

The others were a 15-year-old girl, a 39-year-old driver of the oncoming vehicle, and the 20-year-old. All three had since been discharged from hospital.

Detective Senior Sergeant Greg Turner said police still wanted to speak to anyone who might have seen a maroon Honda, a black Mitsubishi Lancer and a blue Honda in the area between 3.30pm and 4.30pm on Christmas Day.

Homicide victim found at vacant Everett house

EVERETT -- Police on Wednesday were canvassing the View Ridge-Madison neighborhood in Everett after a man was found dead there the night before. A neighbor spotted the man on the ground outside a vacant house at 22 Madison St. He called 911 about 6:20 p.m. The man had obvious signs of trauma to his torso, police said. He looked to be in his late 20s or early 30s. The Everett Major Crimes Unit is investigating the death as a homicide, Lt. Robert Goetz said. Detectives declined to say more about how they believe the man may have died. There are no identified suspects or motives. Detectives received a search warrant around 11:45 p.m. Tuesday and collected evidence at the scene. They returned Wednesday afternoon to look for clues in the daylight, Goetz said.

Monroe police this week wrapped up their probe into the boy's Jan. 30 death and forwarded the case to prosecutors to decide if his parents should face criminal charges. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul likely will begin reviewing the case in the coming days. She doesn't expect to make a charging decision in the near future, however. "It's quite an extensive investigation, and I want to review it thoroughly before I make any decision," she said. The boy, identified as "A.J." in court papers, ingested a lethal amount of salicylates, a chemical common in aspirin and other over-the-counter drugs. The medical examiner declined to conduct an autopsy on the boy, making it difficult to determine how the drug ended up in the boy's system. A
