The Police investigation into the tragic death of Kyle Whorrall over Easter Weekend has progressed significantly.
Detective Inspector Glenn Baldwin says on Tuesday afternoon, Police obtained further information about a black SUV that was subject of a media appeal.
“The Operation Aberfeldy team commenced investigations into this vehicle of interest and its movements.
“I can confirm we have now located this vehicle on the North Shore, and it has been seized by Police with a detailed forensic examination underway.”
In a significant development, the investigation team have also identified a person of interest in the case.
Detective Inspector Baldwin says late yesterday afternoon, Police executed a search warrant at a Beach Haven address.
“A 16-year-old male was arrested and charged with aggravated robbery and murder,” he says.
“He will be appearing in the Auckland Youth Court today.”
A 32-year-old North Shore woman has also been charged with being an accessory after the fact to murder.
This woman will be appearing in the Auckland District Court today.
Detective Inspector Baldwin says: “We are aware that there were other occupants in the vehicle at the time this crime was committed.
“This investigation is by no means over.
“Our enquiries are ongoing to locate these persons of interest, and I encourage them to do the right thing and come into their nearest Police station or phone us.”
Police acknowledge the support from the St Johns community, and further afield.
“There has been a stream of information that has come into us, and we are working through this.
“We value and appreciate the community support,” Detective Inspector Baldwin says.
As part of the investigation, Police are still working to fully understand the events of Saturday night, and why Kyle tragically lost his life.
Police are still seeking information on the white Toyota ute, which had been cut off by the vehicle of interest.
“I want to reiterate to those occupants that they are witnesses, and their information is important to our investigation,” Detective Inspector Baldwin says.
“Please come forward at the earliest opportunity.”
If you have information, please contact Police online or call 105 using the reference number 250419/9858.

Adult crime, adult time
Exactly- bring back the death penalty
I know where I’m putting My money
But we’ll see how things transpire
16 years old . Shame on him and shame on his loser parents for raising such a feral. Throw the book at him. ENOUGH OF THIS CRAP..
The victim was an American…but this isn’t mentioned in any of the news articles or broadcasts.
Americans are targeted in New Zealand…case in point, the Corrections Guard who was a former US Marine, murdered by Maoris…
An American teacher Gregg Smith who was harassed, targeted and threatened with death in Dannevirke (a horrible town…!)

Oh, & BTW- Erica Stanford knows about this book…
OR-
The young American woman murdered in Merivale, Christchurch.
Problem; severe anti-Americanism is trendy and politically-correct in the schools & institutions of New Zealand.
This is what is taught, and socially purveyed by the older teens and adult youth.
Some Americans (with the accent..) who encounter passive aggressive attitudes, attempts at exploitation, and also violence by Kiwis may just be Dual-Citizen Kiwis themselves, having permanently left the U.S. due to the decay that the U.S. has been experiencing over several decades now, or have become New Zealand Citizens.
But, no one would ever dare to ask that, and IF they were to do so, the violence and aggression / barriers would become worse.
(ie “How dare you try and become one if us!…)
The worst cadre of American-hating Kiwis are the women ranging from early teens to their 40’s and are essentially the Tall Poppy women and their Dunning-Kruger effected personalities.
But the below explains a lot…but remember, it’s the American Politicians who are responsible for the problems, and NOT the American who has left the U.S. after possibly experiencing being a Targeted Individual ‘back home.

Wow, good story. Very interesting, I do not come across many Americans. MAGA though.
I can’t imagine why the driver of the white ute hasn’t come forward. They must have heard the news by now that murder was committed right there at almost that exact time?
