Police have been in contact with South Korean authorities this afternoon, after it emerged a man suspected of killing his family in the Asian country is believed to have fled to New Zealand.
A police spokesman confirmed just after 5.30pm that Interpol was liaising with authorities overseas and the matter was being treated as a priority.
"However, we are unable at this time to go into specific details of steps being taken while we work to gather further information."
The wanted man is suspected of killing his mother, stepfather and 14-year-old half-brother in South Korea.
The Korea Herald has reported that the 35-year-old murder suspect is believed to have taken a flight to New Zealand on Monday afternoon, Korean time, two days after the trio's deaths.
