Police reveal identity of body found in concrete under Mt Eden house

Ripu Bhatia Reporter from Community News

Hi neighbours,

Police have confirmed the identity of a body found encased in concrete in Auckland’s Mt Eden earlier this year.

The deceased was David Stanley Hart – the former owner of a boarding house at the Marlborough St property.

Hart’s remains were originally uncovered by a digger on January 31 while the current owner was doing renovations. Police are treating Hart’s death as suspicious.

Police say his cause of death was still unknown – as was how he came to be entombed under his home.

Construction work on the property had been going on for at least a month before the discovery was made.

The house is about 100 years old and was bought by its current owner about two years ago.
