Police have this afternoon arrested a 22-year-old man for the murder of 10-month-old Mustafa Ali in Te Kūiti on 8 June.
The man is expected to appear in Hamilton District Court tomorrow, Saturday 15 June.
Police would like to thank all those who have come forward with information to assist our investigation into Mustafa’s murder.
‘The police investigation into Mustafa’s death and other incidents that occurred during his short life is ongoing,’ said Detective Inspector Graham Pitkethley.
‘Te Kūiti residents can expect to see a continued police presence in the area as we continue to examine and reconstruct the full circumstances of Mustafa’s life.
‘There is the possibility of further charges as a result of this continued investigation.
‘Police are continuing to support Mustafa’s wider family, as they grieve the loss of their little boy, and our thoughts are with them.’
Didn’t stand a chance
Hopefully his ****** gets to experience what that’s like in prison.
This family had tee shirts printed especially for the funeral.
I expect the ***** will be found to have mental issues or cultural stressors or pressures which made it difficult for him to act like a human being or perhaps he suffers from some new thing we haven’t even imagined yet or maybe all of them together which will serve to keep him out of prison.
Maybe one day in the future we will see a one line MSM report about what has happened to him and maybe we won’t.
