Police reveal identity of body found in concrete under Mt Eden house
Hi neighbours,
Police have confirmed the identity of a body found encased in concrete in Auckland’s Mt Eden earlier this year.
The deceased was David Stanley Hart – the former owner of a boarding house at the Marlborough St property.
Hart’s remains were originally uncovered by a digger on January 31 while the current owner was doing renovations. Police are treating Hart’s death as suspicious.
Police say his cause of death was still unknown – as was how he came to be entombed under his home.
Construction work on the property had been going on for at least a month before the discovery was made.
The house is about 100 years old and was bought by its current owner about two years ago.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.3% ... It is complicated
