Queen St stabbing: Police name victim as Herbert Bradley, aged 70

Herbert Bradley has been named as the victim of Wednesday’s homicide on Upper Queen St, Auckland.

Police confirmed the 70-year-old died as a result of being stabbed.

“Police and Victim Support are working with the whānau through the tragedy they have suffered,” Detective Inspector Scott Beard said.

“Police will today complete the scene examination at the Upper Queen Street apartment where the stabbing occurred.”

He said the investigation would continue along with the prosecution phase of the two accused charged with Bradley’s murder.

Police arrested the 35-year-old man and 26-year-old woman on Wednesday.

“Police would like to thank those residents and workers around the apartment block and carpark for their understanding and assistance.”

Earlier this week a friend of a resident told the Herald police arrested a man and escorted him out of the building in handcuffs.

Residents who just returned home were not allowed inside.
