Dear New Zealand Police,

 

Kia ora,

 

Under the OIA please provide the following:

 

Number of days to 29/08/2025 that Police have been investigating the death
of Ruthless-Empire Souljah Reign Rhind Shephard Wall - since officially
named Nga Reo Te Huatahi Reremoana Ahipene-Wall.

 

Number of full-time investigators working on the case as of 29/08/2025.

 

Since police publicly declared there are 3 "persons of interest" in the
case, has this changed?

 

Thank you.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

James
