Police have renewed an appeal for the identities of others involved in the murder of Kyle Whorrall at an Auckland bus stop earlier this year.
The 33-year-old American PhD student was attacked in Auckland’s St John on April 19 and later died in hospital.
Whorrall was in New Zealand pursuing his doctorate in entomology at the University of Auckland.
A 16-year-old was charged with his murder, while a 33-year-old woman was charged with being an accessory to murder.
Both pleaded not guilty with a trial date set for August 2026.
Detective Inspector Glenn Baldwin said it was “time to do the right thing” for others at the scene.
“We know there were others in the vehicle that night, and I’m asking people with that information to come forward now.”
He said the homicide investigation was “still very much active” and that police were “very interested” in speaking to anyone with information that can assist.
“No piece of information is too small. There are people in the community that know exactly who was involved, and what happened. They need to do the right thing and speak up.”
Anyone with relevant information should contact police on 105 or attend their local police station.
