As stated by Detective Inspector Warrick Adkin, Counties Manukau CIB:
Police acknowledge the sentencing of Tyson Brown in the Auckland High Court for the murder of 2-year-old Arapera Fia.
Children are amongst some of the most vulnerable people in our community, and we all have a duty of responsibility to them.
These investigations are never straightforward.
I would like to acknowledge Arapera’s extended whānau who assisted our investigation throughout.
The investigation team worked diligently to bring this matter to court and I acknowledge their professionalism in a challenging case.
