Homicide inquiry launched after body found in park

Police have launched a homicide investigation after a man's body was found in a Rotorua park early today.

The body was found in Kuirau Park about 1.30am by members of the public, Detective Inspector Mark Loper said.

" ... the man appears to have suffered some serious injuries and we have launched a homicide investigation'', he said.

A large team was already working on the probe and would be searching the area and canvassing the local area this morning.

There was a large cordon around almost the entire Kuirau Park area.

"Kuirau Park is a large recreational area located immediately outside the Rotorua CBD. It contains a number of geothermal areas, hot pools, carparks and a children's playground.

"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. We are asking members of the public to avoid the area certainly today and potentially in the coming days,'' Mr Loper said.

A green Rover hatchback, with what looked to be a smashed
rear window covered by a layer of plastic and dents in the
rear, has also been cordoned off.

The car is parked outside
the playground area of Kuirau Park and near the public
toilets.

Part 3 of 7 - Your child is missing and presumed dead by investigators. Homicide is the presumed cause of death and you are the prime suspect.

The seven videos in this series reveal Casey Anthony's reaction after just being arrested for the murder of her daughter, Caylee Marie. She is shown talking to investigators and spending time alone in the interrogation room. Casey appears to be completely unaffected by the serious event that has just taken place and the fact that law enforcement believes she murdered her child. Her calm, light-hearted manner is both strange and disturbing - and very telling. That is our opinion. What do you think?

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. The victim's identity had not been determined as of late Wednesday afternoon. The body was turned over to the Snohomish County Medical Examiner's Office.

Manslaughter charges possible in boy's death

Published: Thursday, August 23, 2012, 5:55 p.m. MONROE -- Detectives believe a 7-year-old Monroe boy's parents should face second-degree manslaughter charges in connection with his January overdose death. 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
