Police have confirmed the death of a woman in a car fire near Kerikeri last week was not suspicious.
Nalinee Giri, aged 56, was found when firefighters were called to a blaze at the end of Wharau Rd about 7pm on April 13.
Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Chris Fouhy, of the Far North CIB, said police were continuing to make further enquiries on behalf of the coroner but her death was not being treated as suspicious.
The scene, next to a beach access ramp at Wharau Bay, was blessed by a local kaumātua last week.
Fouhy said police extended their condolences to Giri's family at what was difficult time for them.
