A 26-year-old Northland man has been charged with the murder of Geoffrey Ware on May 9.
Police upgraded an enquiry into the 55-year-old’s death to a homicide investigation on May 12.
Detective Senior Sergeant Michelle Harris, of Whangārei CIB, says Police are not seeking anyone else in connection with Mr Ware’s death.
Police are still appealing for information and sightings on May 9 of a man and vehicle in the Parakao area between 8am-6.15pm.
A photo of a 1999 blue and silver Mitsubishi L200 is being released today.
“We are also interested in sightings of a man reportedly seen walking along SH14 that afternoon and evening,” Detective Senior Sergeant Harris says.
“We are encouraging people to report on the portal link set up by the Operation Cossar enquiry team.”
That portal link is here.
“The enquiry is ongoing and we appreciate all the help we’ve received from members of the public,” Detective Senior Sergeant Harris says.
“We’re appealing to anyone who hasn’t come forward to please contact us.”
The man charged is currently remanded in custody, and will appear in the Whangārei High Court on May 26.

Just another day
Another murder
More crime
More burden drain and unnecessary cost on resources
The Justice system and wasted Police time when they could be out doing better things
Like addressing the small army of shoplifters operating around the country
Who are impacting upon everybody’s standard of living through increased costs
But we are all one and in denial continue down this path with an appointment to mutually assured self destruction
