A "small group of whānau" are refusing to help police investigating the death of a baby boy in South Auckland.
Officers investigating the homicide of the 10-month-old child are calling for people to speak up, as some within the family have moved to not co-operate.
It comes after the child's death on Sunday, September 6, after police were called to an incident at a property in Manurewa the day before.
Counties Manukau Police says a number of family members are not co-operating with police looking into the circumstances of the boy's death.
"There are a small group of whānau who are choosing to not co-operate with us as we investigate the death of this 10-month-old boy," Detective Senior Sergeant Kevin Tiernan said.
