Man charged with triad enforcer's murder
02.02.06 11.20am
A man has been arrested and charged with the murder of Tam Yam Ah outside a karaoke bar in Auckland in July last year. The 53 year-old unemployed Petone man was seized by police from Auckland and Wellington this morning. Mr Tam, 37, was shot in the chest as he got out of his car outside the Top City Karaoke Bar in Symonds Street in the early hours of July 7. Police revealed last year that he was a triad enforcer. Mr Tam, who was returning to his home above the bar, died at the scene. Detective Inspector Bernie Hollewand, at Auckland CIB, said the team in Wellington had been following a detailed investigation plan and this morning's arrest came as police searched for further evidence and attempted to interview three men in the area. The murder accused is one of those three. He will appear in the Lower Hutt District Court today where police will request that he be remanded in custody to appear in the Auckland District Court in about a week. - HERALD ONLINE STAFF 2-2-06
