Police then arrived at the Darlington Rd property and arrested a 28-year-old man for aggravated burglary. The investigation team previously identified a connection between Nabizadah’s death and the Darlington Rd burglary. A cell phone left behind at the Darlington Rd property by the offender was allegedly used to lure Nabizadah to Camperdown Rd, where the assault took place. John Nabizadah was the first person to see his father in the intensive care unit at Wellington Hospital. People with information are asked to use the reference number 250317/6324, or reference Operation Celtic.
