Police have launched a homicide investigation following the death of a baby boy in Auckland on Wednesday.

On 2 January, the 10-week-old baby was taken to Pukekohe Maternity Hospital in a critical condition, where staff alerted Police.

The baby was transferred to Starship Hospital where it was established he had suffered non-survivable injuries.

“Tragically, the baby passed away at the hospital on Wednesday 7 January”, said Detective Inspector Karen Bright.

“A 27-year-old woman and a 23-year-old man have been jointly charged with ill treatment/neglect of a child.”

Both will reappear in Manukau District Court.

“Suppression orders are in place regarding the identity of the child and the parties charged.

“The investigation remains ongoing and further charges are being considered.

“As the matter is before the court, Police are unable to comment further.”

  1. Auckland another day
    Badlands
    Want a glimpse into the future inescapable destiny and direction of Auckland
    Look no further than large US cities fragmenting decaying and collapsing into their Own footprint

  2. Yet another one.
    How many now? 10 – 20 – 40? and not a conviction in site.
    Oh — but of course it’s someone else’s fault.

    No doubt police are very busy skimming over kiddie porn, the good old mate besty of ality and perhaps planning for the next mass shooting scam – got to keep up with those aussies!
    Got to manufacture and shovel more restrictions down your throats you disgusting and incredibly stupid mindless, “antisemite” of course, plebs who believe any crap that msm and so called authorities throw at you.
    Maybe it is more important to work with shopping mall operators to set up messages flashing on screens throughout the mall when an “event” (more than likely pre prescribed) occurs.
    On-screen messages such as run, hide, call the police!
    Pavlovs dogs anyone??

    woof woof

  3. Interesting how the radio news casters do not mention this or any of the hundred others before. But they mention some random shooting incident. See what their narrative is – Guns bad. Wake up if you actually believe the mainstream news, they are just propaganda machines for the globalist scum.

  4. And that is it! no more updates on any news, let’s just concentrate on the US and never mind the continous baby killers of new Zealand as they have ignored this for oh 5 decades. Stupid country.
