As stated by Detective Inspector Nick Pritchard
Police now believe a homicide and an aggravated burglary in Miramar last month are linked.
About 2am on Monday 17 March, Police were called to a Darlington Road address after the occupants located an intruder inside their home. A 28-year-old man has been arrested and charged with aggravated burglary in relation to this incident.
Then 20 minutes later, 63-year-old Abdul Nabizadah was located with serious head injuries at the intersection of Camperdown Road and Totara Road. Sadly, Mr Nabizadah died in hospital and a homicide investigation was launched.
A large Police team has working on parallel investigations into both incidents. Following a number of enquiries we are now treating the cases as being linked, and have confirmed why Mr Nabizadah was in the area. We also believe he was the victim of a robbery.
