Scott Guy's death has
been confirmed as a homicide with the post mortem showing he suffered
gunshot wounds.
We want to reassure the
community that Police are doing everything possible to find out
how and why Scott was killed. There is a 20 plus team of officers
investigating.
The community can play
a significant role in this investigation and Police want to hear
about any suspicious behaviour in the area in the days leading
up to Scott's death. He had got up early on Thursday, 8 July,
to go and work on the farm and was found around 7am.
Police also want any background
information that the community may feel is relevant to the investigation.
To speak to a member of
the investigation team the number is 0800 808585"
Our condolences got to the family and our thoughts are with the
local community.

There have been a number
of calls to the Feilding Police and to our office concerning individuals
who have been cold calling looking for work (arborists and gutter
cleaners) - this has been occurring right across the region in
residential areas as well as rurally.
It is your choice on who
you employ to undertake work around your property. You should
not feel pressured to employ those who come cold calling. Get
a quote and compare or get recommendations/comments from a local
nursery in regards to the quality of work the arborists undertake.
If you are unhappy with
the approach of some of these individuals, ask them to leave your
property. They can often be very persuasive. If they don't leave
just note down the vehicle registration number and any distinguishing
features of the individual concerned, close the door and ring
the Police for assistance.
