Police are investigating after a body was found at a vacant property in Ruatoria.
The body was found on Saturday afternoon, in the Gisborne Region, and is believed to have been there for some time.
Detective Senior Sergeant Ben Quinn said police are yet to identify the body and are
working to do so at the earliest opportunity.
"Inquiries are ongoing and police will provide more information when we are in
a position to do so," he said.
The discovery of the body comes a week after human remains were also located in scrubland in Taipa, Northland.
