Waikato Police investigating April's death of a six-month-old baby in Ngaruawahia remain committed to establishing how she died and who was responsible.
Officer in charge of Operation Waipa, Detective Senior Sergeant Mark Greene, said as the investigation into the death of Serenity SCOTT-DINNINGTON headed into its second month, much of the recent focus had been obtaining information from medical practitioners.
"We've been building up a picture of what has occurred by speaking to doctors and nurses who treated Serenity at Waikato and Starship Hospitals after she suffered her injuries.
"As this is continuing we are awaiting the results of further forensic tests carried out during the post-mortem examination."
Mr Greene said though little actionable, new, information had come to light following the recent Crimestoppers pamphlet drop in Ngaruawahia it was pleasing to note members of the public were still coming forward to speak directly to the enquiry team.
"This shows the level of public support we have from the local community. While Crimestoppers offers an avenue to pass information anonymously, speaking directly with people enables investigators to develop what information people have.
"As time goes on, a person's situation and allegiances may change, and information not previously available comes to light. If you are in such a situation I would encourage you to come forward. Your call will be treated in confidence."
Anyone who has any information in relation to Serenity's death, knows how she received her injuries, or who may have spoken to the assailant, is asked to contact Mr Greene at the Ngaruawahia Police Station on 07 8248199.
Alternatively information can be left anonymously on the Crimestoppers crimeline, 0800 555111.
"We owe it to this little girl to bring those responsible to justice," said Mr Greene.
