    A manhunt is continuing after a man in his 30s was shot dead in Wellsford, north of Auckland on Saturday

    A manhunt is continuing after a man in his 30s was shot dead in Wellsford, north of Auckland on Saturday


    Police say 45-year-old Desmond Bourne is wanted for murder and has a warrant for his arrest.

    He's considered dangerous and should not be approached.

    The victim was found dead in a vehicle on Wayby Station Road - and a post-mortem was carried out yesterday.

    Detective Inspector Scott Beard says the victim and offender are known to each other, and this isn't being treated as a random attack.
