Funeral of Alex Fisher to take place today

The funeral of 10-year-old Alex Fisher will take place at the Salvation Army centre in Levin today.

Fisher's body was found at Waitarere Beach last Thursday afternoon following a three day search.

Alex's family have requested that media stay outside the building and not film the service and that only the arrival of Alex can be filmed and photographed.

Police revealed that Alex suffered head injuries. They also said that they were looking into a burglary that could have been connected to his death.

In the weekend, hundreds turned out to a candlelit vigil for Alex in Waitarere. Many who were involved in the search for him stood and spoke and thanked the community for their constant support.

The funeral will be held at 1:30pm.
