Police have shared CCTV images of two people believed to be “directly linked” to the September murder of Bill Maangi in Gisborne. <\/p>\n

Maangi, 36, was found critically injured<\/a> on the front lawn of a property between Lytton Rd and Riperata St in the early hours of September 29<\/a> after being shot. Despite the efforts to save him, he died at Gisborne Hospital a short time later. <\/p>\n

Investigators were still piecing together the events that led up to his death, sharing images of two men filmed in the area \u2013 hoping the public could help. <\/p>\n

Acting Detective Inspector James Keene said both individuals were wearing sweatshirts with their hoodies up. <\/p>\n

“One was seen running from Forrester House over the Ormond Rd bridge onto Riperata St. <\/p>\n

“If anyone recognises these people or knows who they could be, please contact Police via 105, either over the phone or online.”<\/p>\n

Keene said the individuals sought were also believed to be involved in the theft of a Hyundai Sonata<\/a>, reported missing from Forrester House in Ormond Rd, between 7.30pm and midnight on September 28. <\/p>\n

The vehicle was seen heading into Riperata St, turning left onto Lytton Rd, before turning right into the Elgin area.<\/p>\n

“Police are grateful for community\u2019s help and thank the members of the public that have helped so far,” Keene said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Police have shared CCTV images of two people believed to be “directly linked” to the September murder of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":130854,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[67,12506,111,43,139,69],"class_list":{"0":"post-130853","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-zealand","8":"tag-crime-and-justice","9":"tag-gisborne","10":"tag-new-zealand","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-newzealand","13":"tag-nz"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130853","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130853"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130853\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/130854"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130853"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130853"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130853"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
