Dear Mr Kelly
REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
I refer to your online email received on the 4 July 2016 in which you request –
Could you please provide me with copies of all the job sheets and note book
entries from all the police who had any part in the Wills search including the
operational review and inquest.
Police act on behalf of the Coroner in carrying out investigations into a sudden
death. The information you have requested forms part of a closed Coroners
case. While Police may hold copies of information about the death of
Ms Wills,
any information obtained by Police was obtained for the purpose of the
Coroner’s investigation into
Ms Wills death and therefore any request for
information from Coroner’s file must be considered by Coronial Services at the
Ministry of Justice.
Any request for access to information held on the Coroner’s file regarding the
death of
Ms Wills will need to be made to:
The Manager,
Coronial Services
Ministry of Justice
Wellington DX: SX10044
Email:
[email address]. I enclose a copy of the information about accessing coronial information from
the Ministry of Justice website for your information.
Yours sincerely
