Police say there are four people they want to speak to as they investigate the killing of Teishallia Te Paea.<\/a><\/p>\n

Te Paea’s body was found at a house in the Hastings suburb of Camberley on 29 October and police said she was murdered in a targeted act of violence by someone known to her.<\/p>\n

Detective Inspector Martin James said police wanted to speak to three males who, together, visited the victim’s Kotuku Street house in August or September.<\/p>\n

They are also trying to identify another individual who arrived at the property in a dark-coloured van or similar vehicle during the same time period.<\/p>\n

It was earlier revealed Te Paea’s body had likely gone undiscovered for several weeks.<\/p>\n

A profiler from the police Behavioural Science Unit analysed the murder, which police said was committed in a unique way.<\/p>\n

Police believe the killer may been acting differently in the weeks after Te Paea’s death and avoiding questions about their movements, using family and friends as protection, and being evasive.<\/p>\n

They also believed the offender had knowledge of the Kotuku St property and attempts to conceal the crime were to create distance between them and Te Paea.<\/p>\n
