Supplied LEE ROSS MCMURDO: Body found by relatives.
Police investigating Lee McMurdo’s murder believe he was dealing a new drug.
McMurdo was found dead by his 12-year-old daughter Lateasha at his rural home, 10km south of Helensville on July 29, but it is believed he died on the morning of July 27.
The 32-year-old was last seen alive on July 26 at 1.40pm and police think his murder may have been an “unintended consequence” of a burglary or a debt recovery attempt.
Today police said they believed McMurdo, who has previously been charged with growing cannabis, was dealing MDVP known as “bath salts” at the time of his death.
