A Dunedin woman has pleaded guilty to being an accessory to homicide.

The 48-year-old appeared in the High Court at Dunedin today. The facts surrounding the crime were suppressed, at least until sentencing in May.

Hairdresser Naomi Lee Morrison, 43, has been charged with the murder of Ameria Prunella Roha Charlene Whatuira, 41, whose body was found at a Glenleith property in Dunedin in October last year. Police say she died weeks earlier.

Morrison has pleaded not guilty to the charge and is due in court again next month.
