    Police are still combing through information they've received in the hunt for the killer of Ashburton schoolgirl Kirsty Bentley

    Police are still combing through information they've received in the hunt for the killer of Ashburton schoolgirl Kirsty Bentley


    The 1998 murder of the 15-year-old remains one of New Zealand's most high-profile cold cases.

    About 80 tips - regarding people, vehicles, and events - have been sent in since a 100-thousand dollar reward was posted in late July.

    Detective Inspector Greg Murton says some were random sightings and many require a lot of digging to contact all relevant parties.

    Nothing obvious has emerged yet.
