A post mortem has been conducted on slain mum Arishma Singh who was found dead by her parents in their family home in Manurewa, South Auckland yesterday morning.

Police in New Zealand say there were obvious injuries to Singh’s body which has led them to treat this case as a homicide.

Detective Inspector Gary Lendrum says the preliminary examination of the crime scene police believe this wasn’t a random attack as there was no sign of forced entry to the address.

He adds the interior of the house has also not been disturbed in any way.
Police are in the process of collecting CCTV footage from the area and said they would be “trawling through it”.

Investigators will also be looking into any family harm or domestic violence issues Singh may have had.
