Police investigators now “believe they know” who was involved in the death of Abdulhassan Nabizadah, left bleeding and unconscious on a Wellington footpath a year ago today.<\/p>\n

Nabizadah was assaulted and robbed on Camperdown Rd in Miramar at around 12.30am on March 17, 2025, in what police have described as a premeditated attack. He later died of his injuries in Wellington Hospital.<\/p>\n

No charges have yet been laid over his death.<\/p>\n

However, Wellington area investigations manager Detective Senior Sergeant Tim Leitch said police were still pursuing justice for Nabizadah’s family.<\/p>\n

“The offenders, who stole nothing more than his car keys, then callously left him bleeding and unconscious on the footpath,” Leitch said.<\/p>\n

“The investigation team has gathered a significant amount of information and believe they know who is involved.”<\/p>\n

Police issued a renewed call for information on Tuesday morning, believing those involved will have spoken about the death with friends and family.<\/p>\n

“It is not too late to provide Mr Nabizadah\u2019s family with answers \u2013 if you know something, we encourage you to speak with us.”<\/p>\n

Nabizadah has been described as a gentle, caring husband, father and grandfather who brought his family from Afghanistan in search of a better life.<\/p>\n

Police urged anyone with information to make a report via 105 using reference number 250317\/6324, or referencing Operation Celtic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Police investigators now “believe they know” who was involved in the death of Abdulhassan Nabizadah, left bleeding and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":334214,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[67,42,43,40,38,41,39,52],"class_list":["post-334213","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-crime-and-justice","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories","tag-wellington"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334213","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=334213"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334213\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/334214"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=334213"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=334213"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=334213"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
