Police can now confirm that the body recovered yesterday from a rural area near Kaitaia is 48-year-old Kimble Moore.
Mr Moore, who was a patched member of the Tribesmen Motorcycle Club has been missing since 17 March 2016 and police last month upgraded the investigation to a homicide.
Our thoughts are with Mr Moore’s family during what has been a deeply distressing time for them. We hope that they will get some degree of comfort knowing that they will now be able to bring their whanau member home.
?
Police focus remains firmly on the investigation and bringing the person or persons responsible for his death to justice.
A scene examination is still underway at the site where the body was recovered but is expected to be completed later this evening.
