    Police are seeking witnesses and camera footage for their homicide investigation into the death of a man in central Northland


    Ambulance staff found the body of a 55-year-old just before 4pm on Friday at a property off Mangakahia Road in Parakao.

    They're asking for sightings of a 1999 blue and silver Mitsubishi ute and of a man walking along State Highway 14 that afternoon or evening.

    They're also seeking CCTV and dashcam footage along Mangakahia Road, Otaika Valley Road and State Highway 14 towards Whangarei at the time.
