The investigation into the murder of Te Atatu woman Cunxiu Tian continues this morning, as officers on Operation Nepal continue a large number of enquiries in the Te Atatu area.
Detectives are continuing the area canvass and are going door-to-door in the wider area around Glenvil Lane, speaking to residents.
The Police Specialist Search team have carried out an extensive examination of the property and neighbouring area. Experts from ESR and Police are continuing with the scene examination at the home where the victim was found on Friday.
A team of around 25 investigators are working on the case.
“So far we’ve only had a few calls to our dedicated Op Nepal 0800 number. Though we are getting a pleasing level of assistance from Te Atatu residents, I can’t stress enough how much we need to hear from anyone who has seen something or someone who appeared suspicious or out-of-place on Friday, or in the days before” says Detective Senior Sergeant Roger Small, Waitemata Police.
“If you’ve noticed anyone hanging around or anyone behaving in a way you thought was odd, or a family member perhaps acting strangely, we want to hear about it, please call the 0800 number” he says.

Media: Detective Senior Sergeant Roger Small will hold a standup at 3pm this afternoon , at the cordon on Glenvil Lane where further information will be provided.
