is in a critical but stable condition
in Auckland Hospital and is under
police guard, Beard had said.
“We will rely on the medical
experts letting us know when it
is appropriate to interview him,”
Beard said.
Beard said the couple were the
victims in this tragedy.
“This is a double homicide, this is
a family incident and it’s a tragedy. A
husband and wife have lost their lives
and obviously we feel for the family
and we extend our condolences.”
Police have spoken to family
members both in New Zealand
and overseas.
“This is a tragedy. The two
victims here have family, brothers,
sisters, and the rest of the family are
struggling. We’re offering a lot of
support, victim support around that.”
He said police were still trying to
establish the motive.
“Part of the police investigation
is looking into the background of all
the family members because people
want to know, the police want to
know, why did this happen. We still
haven’t established that.”
Beard said a close family friend of
the deceased couple was called to the
house shortly before the double fatal
stabbing, and was also injured.
“The person who suffered the
superficial injuries was a close
family friend and he was called
to the scene not long before the
incident and understandably he is in
shock and so we’re offering support.
We have interviewed him and he’s
assisted us greatly.”
Post-mortem examinations and
formal identification processes on the
deceased couple were completed on
Monday afternoon.
“The scene examination is
ongoing, and the investigation team
is continuing to speak to people
associated with the family,” Beard
said.
“Police wish to thank those
members of the public who have
provided information to assist. Our
thoughts and sympathies are with
the families and friends of those
involved in this tragic incident.”
He said it was a traumatic situation
for emergency services staff who
were being offered support.
Herman and Elizabeth left Goa to
make New Zealand their home over
a decade ago.
Auckland Indian Association
president Narendra Bhana said the
couple were highly respected.
“They were Christian, they used to
go to church regularly. They were a
really harmless peaceful family.”
He said the community
was in shock.
“The community is grieving,
everybody is finding it hard to believe
what has happened to this family
who is very highly respected in the
community. We are just shocked to
hear this news.”
