Today, police issued an appeal for help finding a knife that may be connected to her death.

"We're asking the public, particularly those who live between Whitmore Park and the Marewa shops to check their properties for a knife similar to the one pictured (see image at top of article)," Detective Sergeant Emmet Lynch said.

It comes after last week a 48-year-old man was arrested and charged with Henare's murder.

The man, who police say was known to Henare, appeared in court on Saturday November 19.

Information on the case can be shared with police via 105 or anonymously via Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.
