A scene examination's underway today after a body was discovered in a burnt out vehicle on a Dargaville beach yesterday

10 September 2024

Northland Police launched a homicide investigation after the person was found inside a vehicle on fire at Ripiro Beach just after 10.30am.

A scene examination at the beach and a nearby property in Te Kopuru is happening today.

Police are speaking with a person of interest, but haven't made an arrest.

They're not currently seeking anyone else.

They say it's unrelated to the death of Joanna Sione-Lauaki whose body was discovered on another Dargaville beach last month.

Police are also treating her death as a homicide.
