Homicide investigation launched in Tauranga

Police in Tauranga have launched a homicide inquiry following the death of a woman this afternoon.

Just before 2pm today (Friday, 20 July) a member of the public reported a dispute between a man and a woman outside a residential address in Bell Street, Judea.

On arrival police discovered a woman deceased by the driveway to the property.

The scene has been cordoned off and will be preserved overnight for a detailed examination tomorrow. An area canvass is underway and Police are speaking to witnesses.

Police believe they know who the woman is but need to formally identify her and notify next of kin. No further details about her will be released until that process has been completed. A man is currently helping Police with their enquiries and it is understood that the man and the woman involved in the dispute were known to one another.

There are reports in the media that the death is the result of a stabbing. Detective Senior Sergeant Greg Turner said: "The investigation is in its very early stages, the scene is still to be examined and a post mortem will need to be held. It would be wrong of me to speculate about the cause of death this early in the piece"

Anyone with information relevant to this investigation is asked to contact Tauranga Police on 07 577 4300. Alternatively information can be provided anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

So the brake pads on every single one of the 500 freight wagons delivered to KiwiRail by its favoured Chinese supplier have had to be replaced. When fully loaded, they evidently couldn't stop in a safe period of time. Wow. What was in the contracts that the Chinese manufacturers couldn't read, or couldn't comply with – or more likely, did they simply not care?

Though the costs involved with upgrading all the wagons (with a brake block that has higher friction) will be borne by the Chinese, the incident demonstrates the perils of outsourcing, and the inability of its local enthusiasts to prevent New Zealand from being taken to the cleaners. More>>

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. Anyone with information is asked to call 425-257-8450. Rikki King: 425-

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
