As stated by Detective Inspector Scott Anderson:
Police are now in a position to name the 16-year-old who died following a serious assault in Fendalton last night.
He was Zion Purukamu, of Hoon Hay.
Police extend our sympathies to his whānau, and we are providing them with support alongside Victim Support.
A post-mortem has been completed today.
Two other people remain in hospital, both in a serious but stable condition.
Officers continue to carry out a number of enquiries to establish the circumstances of this incident, including identifying and speaking to those in the area at the time.
The scene examination on Medbury Terrace is ongoing, and we thank neighbouring residents for their continued cooperation and understanding as officers carry out the important work of collecting evidence and canvassing for witnesses and information.
