A 7.5 magnitude earthquake in Canterbury has rocked a number of regions overnight, with tsunami waves reaching New Zealand's east coast and aftershocks causing havoc nationwide. Two people are dead, and quakes have been recorded as far as north as Pukekohe, just south of Auckland, meaning a large part of the country has been affected by tremors. 

A tsunami warning was in place for much of the country over night but was downgraded to a marine and beach threat shortly after 8am. The threat is in place from Napier and Hastings to the Waitaki Coast.

South Carolina police have revealed that Todd Kohlhepp, the man they arrested after finding a woman chained in a storage container, had confessed to killing six other people.

The confession came a day after Kala Brown, who was found in the container, told police there were four bodies buried on the 100-acre property in the town of Woodruff, with that of her boyfriend Charles Carver.

 Ms Brown, 30, and Mr Carver, 32, went missing at the end of August.

Police Want Help Finding Alleged Kidnappers

Police are appealing to the public for help identifying an offender who allegedly beat a man unconscious, kidnapped him and stole his car in Auckland. The victim was sitting in his dark grey 2010 Holden Commodore station wagon at the time of the incident, which was parked outside Sylvia Park mall just after 1:00 in the 
afternoon. 

In an explanation given to the police the victim said two men approached him, pushed him in the back seat of his car and drove him around wider Auckland-assaulting him at many points along the journey. 

During at least one of the assaults the man claims he was knocked unconscious.
