The man who died in the "burning lounge" of his Tokomaru Bay home last Sunday has been named.
He was 48-year-old Raymond Karl Neilson.
The circumstances of Neilson's death have not been released but police say they are treating it as a homicide.
Police say they are not in a position to reveal the results of that post-mortem.
"We want people in the Tokomaru Bay community to talk to us directly about Mr Neilson's death," says Detective Senior Sergeant Kevin Ford.
