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. Only a short time ago your car was pulled over by law enforcement; you are placed in handcuffs, arrested and brought to the station. How would you react? 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?

Charges dismissed in grisly Ypsilanti Township triple homicide

Image
For nearly six years, they were locked up facing a possible death sentence for a grisly 2001 triple homicide in Ypsilanti Township. On Friday, a federal judge dismissed the charges against Deondre Byrd and three other men after a federal prosecutor said new evidence came to light last Friday that prevented the government from taking the case to trial. It was the second time in three years that Byrd escaped murder charges. He has been imprisoned in recent years for both the triple homicide and the slaying of a 16-year-old girl in Ann Arbor, but he has been convicted on only a federal gun charge. "Obviously, I'm pretty upset that almost 11 years later, we still don't have any answers," said Christy Brown, 30, a close family friend of the victims of the triple homicide. She said she got a call from federal prosecutors Thursday saying the case was being dropped, but they wouldn't elaborate. "I was very surprised. I honestly thought they were making some...

FLINT, MI -- There have been 189 murders in the city since 2010. Below is a map of the locations of each murder in the last three years, as well as the names of the slain on Flint's battlefield. The spike in murders occurred almost immediately after large-scale layoffs in March of 2010. By year's end the city had set a record with 66 murders, breaking the previous mark of 61 set in 1986. Killing continued in 2011 with 57 murders. A look at the map shows the majority of the murders took place on the north and east sides, historically the most economically depressed areas of the city. Just 25 murders in the last three years occurred south of Court Street. The map is color-coded by year. Green markers denote 2012 murders while red markers are from 2011 and blue from 2010. 2012 No. 1: Jan. 11: Kevin Berger, 55, died Jan. 11 after a Jan. 10 double shooting at his home on Keller Avenue near Welch Boulevard around 10:15 pm.
