Police not seeking anyone else in connection to death of Epuni bus driver at this stage

Police investigating the death of 64 year old Epuni bus driver Herman Curry are not seeking anyone else at this stage.

Acting Wellington District Crime Services Manager Detective Inspector Darrin Thomson says a number of enquiries are still underway in relation to Mr Curry's death on Friday night.

Police were called to the Waterloo Interchange Bus Depot around 10pm on Friday, where Mr Curry was found. CPR was performed by Ambulance staff but sadly he died at the scene.

"Yesterday we apprehended four people in relation to the theft of Mr Curry's cash box from the bus he had been driving. Two males, aged 15 and 16 years have been referred to Youth Aid, and two males, aged 17 and 20 years will appear in the Lower Hutt District Court tomorrow morning."

At this stage of the Police investigation, Police are not seeking anyone else in connection to Mr Curry's death.

"We would however still like to hear from any members of the public who were in the vicinity of Cudby and Pohutukawa Streets in Waterloo on Friday night, between 9:30pm and 10:30pm. We are very interested in the movements of a blue-coloured Toyota Previa and its occupants."

Detective Inspector Thomson says Police are also interested in the movements of this same vehicle on Saturday morning at the northern end of Te Whiti Park near the Waiwhetu Stream and the bridge that crosses from Riverside Drive to Te Whiti Park.

"Anyone with any information should contact the investigation team on a free phone number which has been set up. That number is 0800 OP WATER (0800 679 928)."

Police are still making a number of enquiries to piece together the events which led to Mr Curry's death on Friday evening.

"As we have stated in previous media releases, preliminary post-mortem results show Mr Curry did not die as a result of any form of assault or act of violence. However, I am unable to provide any further information surrounding his death at this time."

Detective Inspector Thomson wishes to again thank members of the community who have assisted Police in recent days.
