Police investigating the violent death of a six-month-old baby in Ngaruawahia, north of Hamilton, last month have gone back to the public for more help.
Serenity Jay Scott-Dinningham died in Auckland's Starship Hospital last month.
Police said her fatal head injuries were not accidental and medical staff later told relatives the injuries were similar to shaken-baby syndrome.
The homicide team working on the baby's death was being helped by members of the community, Detective Senior Sergeant Mark Greene, of Waikato police, said.
Police were still awaiting the results of forensic tests done during Serenity's post-mortem to give them a better picture of what had happened.
A public campaign for information was launched today, with CrimeStoppers pamphlets distributed by NZ Post to every house, business and community group in Ngaruawahia.
Mr Greene said he preferred to speak to someone face to face but sometimes that was not possible and the anonymity of CrimeStoppers was great.
"We want to know what you know, not who you are."
