June 23, 2011, 13 years ago
According to Otago Daily Times, a large police team continuing the investigation into the gruesome murder of Wellington man Matthew Hall are still looking for three knives that might be connected to the crime.
Mr. Hall, 35, a mental health worker who was a long-serving member of death metal band BACKYARD BURIAL, was found dead in his bed from stab wounds after a ferocious attack in his home in Broderick Rd, Johnsonville, on February 15.
The officer in charge of the investigation, Detective Senior Sergeant Dave Thornton, said close to 20 detectives were working on the investigation and still had more work to do to identify Mr Hall's killer.
"During this investigation there has been several people of interest. One of these people is Timothy Parlane, who made alleged admissions about being responsible for Mr. Hall's death, before his sudden death in March. Given Mr. Parlane is now deceased it has made it challenging for police to corroborate this."Read more here.
