The fifth person wanted in connection with the bashing death of a Wairarapa man gave himself up to police today after being on the run for four days.
Police say Hayden Ranson, 27, handed himself in at the Upper Hutt Police Station just before 11am.
Police had been searching forMr Ranson since supermarket worker Glen Jones died early on Saturday hours after a violent attack in his Featherston home.
He will appear in the Lower Hutt District Court tomorrow morning facing a charge of aggravated burglary.
Detective Inspector Sean Hansen said Mr Jones' family had been eagerly anticipating a resolution and would be relieved.
"This result will also bring some comfort to the Featherston and greater Wairarapa communities," he said.
Three others - a man aged 28 and two women aged 32 and 22 - have already appeared in court and have interim name suppression.
The fourth, Kristofer Jones, 23, who also fled but was found and arrested in Hunterville at 2am yesterday, appeared in Palmerston North District Court yesterday.
