Police investigating the double fatal Work and Income shooting in Ashburton last week say they have found a mountainbike and personal items which may belong to suspect Russell Tully.
Peg Noble and Leigh Cleveland died and Work and Income co-worker Lindy Curtis was injured when a gunman walked into theiroffice just after 10am on Monday last week.
After a day-long manhunt, local homeless man Russell Tully was arrested at a farm in the area.
He has appeared in court on two counts of murder and one of attempted murder.
A firearm thought to have been used in the shootings was later recovered.
Police have been searching an area stretching from the scene of the shooting to the farm where he was found, including about 13km of riverbank along the Ashburton River.
Today they said a black mountain bike and a number of personal items thought to belong to Tully had been found.
However, they were continuing to look for any other items, which could include another firearm and ammunition, which may have been in his possession.
