Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Kepal Richards praised the hard work of the investigation team who he said had worked tirelessly to get answers for Mr Tulua's family.
"I would also like to thank those members of the public who have come forward and provided information following our numerous public appeals, including on Police Ten 7."
