Attribute to Detective Senior Sergeant Phil Taylor:
Police acknowledge the sentence handed down to Daniel James Work in the Whanganui High Court today.
The 39-year-old has been sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum non parole period of 10 years, 6 months after pleading guilty to the murder of Albert Coe in Ohingaiti on 21 January 2024.
No sentence will bring back Albie or lessen the deep hurt his loved ones have felt since his death, but this a positive outcome for the community.
Police would like to thank everyone that assisted throughout the case, and to bring this matter to justice.
Police will not be making further comment.
