Rotorua police have begun a homicide investigation after a man's body was found in Kuirau Park this morning.

The body was discovered at around 1.30am by passers-by and the area has been cordoned off.

Detective Inspector Mark Loper said a large investigation team has been set up but few details could be released at the moment.

"What we can say at this stage is that the man appears to have suffered some serious injuries and we have launched a homicide investigation," he said.

Forensic examination of the area of Kuirau Park where the body was found will be taking place today and Loper is asking the public to avoid the area for the next few days.

"Due to the need to preserve and recover any items that may be linked to this incident, we have an extensive cordon in place around the area.

"Our aim is to reduce that cordon as soon as possible so that people can continue to visit and enjoy these park areas."

More details of the investigation will be revealed at a press conference this afternoon.

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
