A funeral for slain Paeroa pizza maker Jordan Voudouris will be held on Monday as police continue their investigation into his death.
The Weekend Herald understands Mr Voudouris' family will be holding a private funeral for him in Auckland a week after his body was discovered face down in a
pool of blood at the rear of his store on Belmont Rd.
A source close to Mr Voudouris said his family received his body on Thursday, three days after it was taken to Auckland for a post-mortem examination.
The person said the family were struggling and wanted to maintain their privacy.
A former staff member of Mr Voudouris' said bouquets of flowers, caps and cards continued to pile up in front of the store as detectives examined the interior. The woman, who asked not to be named, said she and many others from Paeroa hoped to attend the funeral service for Mr Voudouris.
