To be attributed to Inspector Mark Fergus, Waitemata Police
Police can now confirm that a body has been found this morning at Muriwai Beach.
A fisherman made the discovery at around 6am.
Whilst formal identification is yet to take place, it is thought to be that of missing fisherman, Mr Taulagi Afamasaga.
We have visited the Afamasaga family this morning to convey this news.
Our thoughts are with them at this sad time.
