    New developments into the murder of 20-year-old Bayden Williams

    New developments into the murder of 20-year-old Bayden Williams


    A 20-year-old man has been arrested for selling a firearm -- and will appear in the Thames District Court next Thursday.

    Bayden William's body was discovered along the Kopu-Hikuai Rd near Thames last Wednesday night.

    A 23-year-old man known to Williams has since been in court, charged with his murder.

    Police also want any dash-cam footage from anyone that travelled on Kopu-Hikuai Rd between six and seven pm last Wednesday.
