Police have launched a fresh appeal for sightings or information about a black van believed to be involved in the death of Sidney 'Ross' Bridson last year.
Bridson's body was found following a suspicious house fire on Waitaanga Rd, Waitaanga, in the Manawatū region on October 11.
An autopsy determined that the 55-year-old died from a gunshot wound.
“It has been almost eight months since Ross’s murder and our small but dedicated team remain committed to identifying and locating those responsible,” said Detective Senior Sergeant Gerard Bouterey.
He said information from the public was helpful in finding the black LDV van (registration NWP349) previously sought in Kirikiriroa/Hamilton.
"It is currently undergoing forensic examination," Det Snr Sgt Bouterey added.
“Police are hoping that through the release of these images, someone may remember seeing the van travelling between these locations or stopped on the side of a road anywhere in between,” he said.
It's alleged the LDV van travelled from Kirikiriroa/Hamilton to Waitaanga overnight on October 10, and returned by about midday.
Anyone who saw the van or has any information about it or its occupants has been asked to get in touch with police by calling 0800 287 453 or going online here and quoting file number 231011/2157.
