Dundas Street incident – statement from media conference

Attributable to Inspector Marty Gray, Otago Coastal Area Commander:

First of all I’d like to extend our condolences to the family of the young woman who died earlier this morning.

It’s the news no parent wants to hear. They live outside of Dunedin and have been told of their daughter’s death this morning, and are being offered support by Police and Victim Support.

Police received a call just before midnight last night, requesting assistance at breaking up a party at a house on Dundas Street.
