Tulasunu’i Keith Alapati, 33, named as Keith Pati in court documents, died at Hawke’s Bay Hospital on February 16, 2005.

Tulasunu’i Keith Alapati, 33, named as Keith Pati in court documents, died at Hawke’s Bay Hospital on February 16, 2005.

Police investigating the death of Flaxmere man Keith Pati on February 2025 have made another arrest in relation to the incident.

Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Darren Pritchard said a search warrant was carried out on Tuesday in Napier and a 35-year-old woman was arrested.

She will appear in the Hastings District Court on Friday charged with being an accessory after the fact.

Pati died following an altercation in Camberley, Hastings.

A 29-year-old Napier man has been charged with his murder.

He was remanded in custody and was due to appear in the High Court in Napier on June 8.

Pati’s family previously named him publicly as Tulasunu’i Keith Alapati.

A family spokeswoman said earlier that he arrived in New Zealand in 2024 to “find a future for his family”.

His family would forever remember him as a “humble, loving guy”, she said.

“He was a great father, friend, brother, and cousin.”
