Police want to speak to
two men who were drinking at the Oceanside Hotel in Mt Maunganui more than 15
years ago. The men were aged in
their 20s at the time and had their photo taken with a group of people at the
bar of the landmark hotel in January 1989. A spokesman at the
Office of the Commissioner said there were fewer than 10 people in the photo
but the others had not been able to identify the two mystery men. Police investigating a
historic sexual assault hope the men can help the inquiry. The police spokesman
said he could not comment any further as the case was before the courts. Four men with interim
name suppression are facing charges that include rape, unlawful sexual
connection and detaining without consent. The charges date back
to New Year 1989 and relate to events alleged to have occurred at Mt
Maunganui. The four were arrested
in July by police investigating the alleged rape of Rotorua woman Louise
Nicholas, but the complaints were separate to that case. |
