No arrests have been made.

Her maternal grandmother has asked police to release a statement on behalf of their whānau.
The family also appealed for privacy so that they could have "space to grieve the huge loss of Arapera".
"We are in as much shock as the rest of Aotearoa and want the answers to what has happened," the family's statement said.
"Arapera's father would like everyone to know that he was devastated to learn of her death as he does not reside at the same address as his daughter.
"Our extended whānau are fully cooperating with police."
