    Closure for a Waitaanga family as three men are charged with the murder of Sidney Ross Bridson

    Closure for a Waitaanga family as three men are charged with the murder of Sidney Ross Bridson


    The 55 year old's body was found in a house fire in October last year, with Police at the time labelling the situation suspicious.

    A 25-year-old man was arrested yesterday, and two other men, aged 26 and 52, were arrested today, all charged with murder and arson.

    The three will appear in the New Plymouth District Court later today.

    Police say it's provided an explanation to the grieving family, and they still want to speak with anyone who may know something about the death.
