    Police investigating the death of Bram Willems, in Bay of Islands, are appealing for witnesses to an altercation before his death

    Police investigating the death of Bram Willems, in Bay of Islands, are appealing for witnesses to an altercation before his death


    Willems died in Opua on 7 January from fatal stab wounds.

    Detective Senior Sergeant Geoff McCarthy says a woman who witnessed an altercation on nearby Kawakawa's main street has spoken with Police.

    Police believe there was another altercation, at the Bay of Islands College bus bay between 10-past-10 and 11 o'clock that night.

    McCarthy says anyone who witnessed the altercation or saw a silver Toyota Altezza vehicle, registered MQE620, should contact Police.

    A 14-year-old has been charged with murder in relation to Willems' death, and is due in the High Court at Whangarei on February 4.
