Police have released the name of a woman who was found dead at a house in Camberley, Hastings, on October 29.

She was Teishallia TePaea, aged 37.

A homicide investigation into TePaea’s death – Operation Knell – is ongoing and police are continuing to appeal for information from the
community after her body was discovered in a home on Kotuku Street.

Detective Inspector Martin James said a team of investigators was “working hard to get answers for Teishallia’s whānau, and to support them as they mourn the loss of a much-loved family member.

“We believe there are people in the community who know what happened to Teishallia and who was involved,” James said.
