Police investigating the death of Connor Morris have continued today to speak with a number of people who were at sunday
morning's incident.
The scene examination on Don Buck Road is ongoing and a specialist Police search group have been back at Don Buck Road
for much of the day, carrying out a further search of two large bush areas, as well as a stream running behind a block
of houses there. Police are still uncertain as to the weapon that was used in the incident, however a number of items of
interest have been located and these are being forensically examined. No further comment on what these items are will be
made at this point.
An area canvass that included door to door enquiries with the homes in the surrounding area has now been completed,
however Police would still like to hear from anyone who does not live there but was in the area on saturday night.
"The team are working incredibly hard to identify the offender. We appreciate there is a huge amount of public interest
in the investigation, however this is an enquiry that requires attention to detail to piece together the circumstances
from a large number of witness accounts and evidence taken from the scene. " says Detective Inspector Greg Cramer.
Anyone with information that could help Police is still encouraged to ring the Crimestoppers number anonymously on 0800
555 111.
