DEVELOPMENTS EXPECTED,
(By Telegraph. Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Monday.
Although further sensational developments are expected to follow the discovery by the police on Sunday of the body of Phyllis Avis Symonds, the 17-year-old girl who had been missing for a fortnight, it was learned this evening that no turn of events is expected to occur to-morrow. It was mentioned, however that the police are still engaged on'completing their investigations into the girl's death. Early this morning the body of the girl was viewed at the morgue by the coroner, Mr E. Page, S.M., after which a post-mortem examination was conducted by Dr P. P. Lynch, pathologist at the Wellington Hospital, and Dr C. M. Hector. Late this afternoon Mr Page was not in possession of the doctors' report and had not then issued the certificate for burial. No date for the inquest has yet been fixed. In response to an inquiry, the commissioner of police, Mr W. G. Wohlmann, said further action, if any, •would not be taken until the police were quite ready to start.
