Death of Dylan Hohepa Tonga Rimoni
Child, Youth and Family head Ray Smith today expressed his sorrow at the death of three year old Dylan Rimoni.
"The loss of such a young life is always a tragedy".
Ray Smith clarified that Dylan's foster care was a private family arrangement.
"With a police investigation underway and in the early stages, it is important that speculation and comment are kept to
a minimum so police can get on with the job of bringing to justice those responsible for the death of Dylan.
