As put by Detective Inspector Dave de Lange:
Police’s thoughts are with Ariki’s family a year on from her death.
Our focus remains on holding to account those responsible for her death, and providing the whānau with answers.
We would ask people to exercise caution when discussing the case and reading or sharing information online about the case.
We would also reiterate our appeal to the public for anyone who has genuine information which may help us to report this to Police.
We believe people in the community know what happened to Ariki, but loyalties are preventing them from speaking – please do the right thing and come forward.
