Police are continuing to ask residents for help as they investigate the death of an 8-year-old in Hamilton.

Police are looking for a white t-shirt and light-coloured track pants that may have been discarded in the area.

A 37-year-old man has been charged with murder and assault after Zahquiel Taipeti and two adults were attacked.

Police want to hear from any residents on Anthony Crescent, where the attack took place, and surrounding streets, who may have found unfamiliar clothing on their property.
