Four teenagers have been arrested in relation to the death of Kelly Donner in Flaxmere almost two weeks ago.

The youths, aged between 14 and 16, have been charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and will appear in the Hastings District Court on Friday afternoon.

Detective Senior Sergeant Marty James said police were seeking a fifth youth in relation to the death on March 4.

Further charges were likely to be laid, he said.

"Despite there still being a considerable amount of work to be done, I would like to thank the investigation team for their commitment and professionalism throughout the inquiry," said James.

"I still urge those that have information to come forward so that we can discuss their knowledge of the incident.

"Any threats or intimidating behaviour towards witnesses will not be tolerated and we will ensure that such complaints are investigated."

Donner died in Flaxmere on March 4 after an attack.

The death happened in the heart of the community, Donner being found in the carpark of the Flax Bar and Eatery in Swansea Rd, adjacent to the Flaxmere Village Shopping Centre, the bar historically known as the Flaxmere Tavern.
