Three men have been charged with murdering a Philippine national in Hastings more than 13 months ago.

The body of 33-year-old Jermaine Ramos, who had been living in Waipukurau, was found at a property in Ferguson St, Akina, on April 1, 2019.

Police soon afterwards charged a 36-year-old woman with assaulting the man with intent to rob, but on Thursday night said three men had now been charged with murder and a 37-year-old woman with aggravated robbery.

Neighbours had reported three people leaving the property at night and getting into a vehicle and driving off.

The arrested men, aged 41, 29 and 28 years, have been charged with murder and aggravated robbery.
