Police investigating the death of 51-year-old Mitchell Te Kani in Tauranga on 14 May are appealing for sightings of a red Honda Odyssey, registration ARW164.
The investigation team is particularly interested in the movements of the vehicle, which was seen in the Tauranga area, on the evening of Mr Te Kani’s death.
