Photo: SuppliedThe remains of Rotorua property manager Susan Knowles have been formally identified by the coroner. Susan Doreen Knowles, from Ngongotahā, was one of two Rotorua women who were victims of the deadly Mount Maunganui landslide. The significant landslide took in its wake tents, caravans and structures when it swept through the Mount Maunganui Beachside Holiday Park, and the Mount Hot Pools, on Thursday, January 22, at 9.29am. However, that soon became a recovery operation, which remains ongoing, as Disaster Victim Identification and Search and Rescue teams work to recover the remains of those lost.
