Woman Charged With Murder in Manurewa Homicide

Police have made an arrest over the death of a man in Manurewa yesterday morning.

A homicide investigation was launched on 6 May after emergency services were called to a Mahia Road property just before 10am following a report of a person seriously injured.

Detective Inspector Shaun Vickers, from Counties Manukau CIB, says a man was located in a critical condition but despite the best efforts from first-aid responders, he died at the scene.

"Our enquiries have progressed in identifying a person of interest in this case, and a woman presented at the Manukau Police Station this morning," he says.

"This woman has been spoken to and has now been charged with murder."

Detective Inspector Vickers says Police are not seeking anyone else in relation to the death.

The 32-year-old woman will appear in the Manukau District Court tomorrow on the murder charge.

Detective Inspector Vickers says the investigation team are still completing some enquiries as part of the investigation.

"A scene examination has been completed and a post mortem has also been completed.

"This in no doubt an upsetting incident for all involved and we are pleased to have been able to bring a quick resolution to this investigation."

As the matter is now before the Court, Police is unable to comment further.
