Police are going over the charred remains of a suspicious house fire in Manawatu.
The building in Woodville has been badly damaged in a fire which started at about 1am.
It's the property where 49-year-old James Whatuira was found dead early last month.
Police say they're not jumping to any conclusions, but they consider a link to be likely.
