As put by Detective Inspector Nick Pritchard:
Police investigating the death of Baby Ru in Lower Hutt are appealing for information on specific critical evidence.
We believe that the items were deliberately removed from the Poole Street, Taita property and have subsequently been concealed or disposed of.
Attempts have been made to clean and alter the crime scene before Police arrived.
We have also determined that the people seen using a grey-green 1994 Nissan Sentra, registration TE6972, were responsible for disposing of this evidence.
The Nissan travelled to and from the Poole Street address three times, after Ru was taken to hospital on 22 October and before Police were able to secure the scene.
We appreciate the assistance of members of the public who have reported sightings of this vehicle and the people associated with it.
