Three dead bodies and the clueless clods

Death of person found on Waiheke Island not suspicious: police

By now most readers must know the meaning of “not considered to be suspicious”, a phrase often used by NZ police.

What does it mean? Try “we have found yet another badly decomposed human remains in an unusual place, but haven’t a clue how it got there. We simply lack resources [read brainpower and training] to solve hundreds of such mysteries each year”.

Person crushed to death in Whangarei

A person was killed by a truck at a worksite in Whangarei on Friday, according to a report.

A Worksafe spokeswoman said “the initial information we have is that there has been a crushing incident. That’s as much as we can say”, which was truly informative [and it covers their backside indefinitely.]

Police said they could not possibly comment. “The Worksafe are leading the investigation.”
