Police investigating the violent death of a Wellington woman believe someone broke into the crime scene, leaving behind a religious themed note.

Police say since the forensic scene examination was completed, someone has forced entry into the property, possibly between 3 and 17 December.
They say a small red card with a religious verse printed on it was left next to a photo of the 37-year-old mother of two, who was dead in her Miramar home on 10 November.
Detective Senior Sergeant John van den Heuvel said on Friday it is a bizarre and brazen thing to do and police can't rule out the possibility the killer has returned to the scene. He says he has not encountered anything like this before.
A post-mortem confirmed that Ms Fan died of multiple injuries consistent with a violent and brutal attack.
