Police have raided the family home of a brutally beaten four-year-old boy in Flaxmere again.
Detective Inspector Mike Foster told Hawke's Bay Today police on Friday morning executed another search warrant at the Ramsey Cres address "looking for further evidence".
He declined to comment on what it was and whetherthey found it.
There have been 10 detectives involved in the investigation and so far no arrests have been made.
The case has outraged the nation, with Foster claiming in February that members of the family had not been telling the full story of what happened to the boy.
He said police had been speaking with the family, and there was a lot they were not being told because he had some "very obvious injuries and we simply don't know how that happened".
Foster said on Friday the investigation was "still going well but will remain a lengthy investigation due to medical reports from experts" and others.
The house was initially treated as a crime scene, but Foster said the initial examinations were completed in the first few days following the incident.
