The pressure is growing for someone to be held accountable for the deaths of the Kahui twins.
The burden of guilt may be off Chris Kahui's but calls are growing for answers over the deaths of his baby twins.
Police have now said they have not "shelved" the Kahui case, following comments from the Prime Minister on Monday morning.
Prime Minister Helen Clark told TV ONE's Breakfast programme that justice has not been done.
"I feel that someone has to be bought to account. Two babies were killed, treated so badly that they died and it's not right that no one is bought to justice for that," she said.
Clark says the initial investigation was very difficult for police but she believes they can explore the evidence again.
"While I understand in human terms the officer in charge of the investigation saying that is it, we've got nowhere else to go, I think you'll find the police will sit down...they'll sift back through evidence, they'll see whether there's any other angles."
Others want a Commission of Inquiry into whether the police investigation was carried out correctly.
In response Counties Manukau Police District Commander Superintendent Steve Shortland says the case has not been "shelved" and police will reinvestigate if new evidence comes to light.
Police say deaths which involve a small group of people are always complex and the case could be reopened.
"Should any new information come in and we will investigate with all the vigour we can. This is a particularly aberrant case, and we want to get to the bottom of it," says Steve Shortland, Manukau Counties Region Area Commander.
Since the not guilty verdict, questions are also being raised as to why the police were not tougher on the family.
"We've got to have evidence before we can arrest anybody," Shortland points out.
Police will now look in to how they handled the case to see if they could have done things better.
Shortland says a debrief of the file will be conducted over the next few weeks by a senior police officer from outside the district.
"Police are going to undertake a debrief and that involves close examination of both the investigation and the prosecution process and we'll certainly be seeking input from the investigation team as well as expert advice as well. It will be conducted by a ah senior investigating officer, independent of the inquiry," says Rob Pope Deputy Police Commissioner
Meanwhile the two lawyers for Chris Kahui are also concerned about police actions. They are complaining to the Independent Police Conduct Authority, which means the Kahui case is a long way from over.
