UNSOLVED N.Z. MURDER MYSTERIES
P.A. WELLINGTON, Sept. 21. In the House to-night, Mr. J. R. Marshall (Nat., Mt. Victoria), speaking on the vote for the Foiice Department, referred to the Marie West case. He asked for an assurance that the police would not shelve the investigations.
Mr. Fraser, replying, said: “No case that remains lor the moment un detected, has been dropped. Inquiries will go on in the Marie West case.”
He said that it was doctors and specialists who had, at the inquest, put forward a theory of self-strangula-tion, and not the police. He did not want to make any excuses at all, but whoever was in charge of the search for the body did not carry out his job. On the other hand, it could not be said that the body was placed where it was found after the crime had been committed. He hoped that whoever had been responsible for the Wilkins murder would eventually be found.
