Police investigating the death of 41 year-old Joanne Pert, who died after allegedly being attacked on Shore Rd, Remuera on Thursday January 7, want to hear from residents on the road who may have private CCTV systems that could have captured images of Joanne and/or the alleged offender between about 9am and 10.30am that day.
Detective Inspector Kevin Hooper said officers are trying to reconstruct Joanne's movements that morning and have set up an 0800 number - 0800 765 842 - as well as a dedicated operation email address - solitaire@police.govt.nz - to help facilitate the flow of information to the Operation Solitaire homicide investigation team.
"We particularly want to hear from anyone who was in the area at the time and who may have seen Joanne Pert running along Shore Rd between the Bassett Rd/Brighton Rd roundabout and the Orakei Rd roundabout between 9am and 10.30am on Thursday, January 7.
"Joanne was Caucasian of slim build and had blonde hair cut in a bob style."
Mr Hooper said it was important that residents in the area understand that, despite the fact a 24 year-old man has been arrested and charged with Joanne's murder, the Police investigation is ongoing and any information that could assist reconstructing events leading up to and following on from the alleged attack on Joanne, is vital to the operation.
He said staff would be working through the weekend and reiterated his appeal to residents and commuters for information, whether verbal or CCTV recordings, that could assist the investigation team.
