Please attribute to Detective Senior Sergeant Geoff McCarthy, Northland Police:

Police is continuing to investigate the death of 22-year-old Bram Willems who was killed following an incident in Opua on Thursday evening (7 January 2021).
?
A 14-year-old male has been charged with murder in relation to Mr Willems’ death and is due to appear in the Whangārei High Court on February 4.
?
The investigation into Mr Willems’ death continues, and we are reiterating our appeal for any information on both an incident in Kawakawa and sightings of a vehicle.
?
Police have been canvassing CCTV footage and we believe there was a woman who witnessed an altercation outside of the Work and Income building on Kawakawa’s main street at around 10pm on Thursday.
?
We are asking her to please contact Police either by visiting her nearest station or contacting 105 and quoting file number 210108/7855. She was not involved in the incident but it is important that Police speak with her.
?
Anyone who may have taken photographs or filmed the incident in Kawakawa is asked to upload that here, (link is external)

We’re also looking for sightings of a silver Toyota Altezza, registration MQE620 (pictured), in the Kawakawa/Opua/Kerikeri areas late on Thursday night and into Friday.
?
Information can be given to Police via 105 again quoting file number 210108/7855.
