The mourning family of slain policeman Matthew Hunt are unable to grieve together as relatives who have returned from overseas must complete two weeks of mandatory isolation.
Constable Hunt, 28, was fatally shot while undertaking a routine traffic stop in Massey, west Auckland, on Friday. Now, his family face a devastating wait before Hunt can be laid to rest.
Police Association president Chris Cahill confirmed to Newshub that Hunt's aunt and uncle arrived from Australia over the weekend. However, returned New Zealanders must spend 14 days in quarantine or managed isolation after arriving at the border as part of the Government's ongoing efforts to control COVID-19 - meaning Hunt's mother, Diane, cannot be reunited with her brother and sister-in-law.
"She's obviously devastated and grieving... she's going through a really rough time," Cahill, who spent a few hours with Diane on Sunday morning, told Newshub.
Adding to the stress, Diane's brother and sister-in-law have been sent to complete their managed isolation in Rotorua - 220 kilometres from Auckland - after Auckland facilities reached capacity.
Diane's daughter - Hunt's sister - is believed to be coming home on Monday. Yet she too will face 14 long days in managed isolation.
