Police are calling for the public's help in their investigation over the hit-and-run death of Nelson Hari.
The 25-year-old was hit and killed by two vehicles while walking home from a wedding in Ruatoria in April this year.
Hari had been at a wedding at the Te Heapera Marae on April 15 when he decided to walk home around midnight and was struck by two vehicles and killed.
His grieving mother Nina told the Herald her son had "the softest, kindest nature you could ever have".
"He doesn't have a bad bone in his body. He's one of the good guys."
