From Morning Report, 8:36 am on 8 March 2019

Police in Kaitaia say the homicide inquiry into the death of a young baby is taking an emotional toll on officers, but is making them more determined to find out who killed her. Four week old Maree Takuira Ngahere died of a brain bleed suffered at her family's home two weeks ago. The officer heading the investigation, Acting Detective Inspector Lloyd Schmid, says the little girl also had severe bruising on one arm and one leg. Our Northland reporter Lois Williams asked him how co-operative the family has been, with the police.
