The 45 year old, Joao Esteves, from Portugal, was found with serious head injuries at 3.25am on Sunday 19 January. He was taken to hospital but died later.

He is believed to have been attacked somewhere near Haslett Avenue East cycle path, opposite Three Bridges football club.

Three buildings were evacuated yesterday morning (Thursday 20 Feb) after a bomb scare.
