A body pulled from the water in Evans Bay, Wellington on Tuesday was that of a gang member, Stuff reports.
The 45-year-old's body was recovered from the water on Tuesday, and the Police National Dive Squad have since been searching the area. Last night they had found a number of items.
Stuff reported the man was a Nomads gang member and was due in court next week on family violence charges.
"We are currently working with the family of the deceased to offer support, investigating the circumstances, and looking to establish his movements leading up to his death," detective senior sergeant Barry Bysouth said yesterday.
"We welcome any information from the public who may have seen anything in the Evans Bay area in the days leading up to Tuesday, or anything that may assist our inquiries."
