Police are appealing for witnesses after a passenger was dragged 600 metres under a bus in central Wellington and killed.
Detective Sergeant Glenn Japeth said police would like to speak with anyone on the Number 3 bus at the time.
Yesterday police named the man who died as Andrew Lockwood Waikare, also known as Anaru "Doc" Manuel, aged 75.
Wellington City Missioner Murray Edridge told the Herald they knew Waikare as Doc, and he used their services on occasion.
