A man has appeared in court charged with the murder of a 26-year-old woman north of Auckland.
Jasmine Cooper had texted her sister saying someone was ``creeping around'' her house in Te Hana, just north of Wellsford, but the text wasn't read until it was too late to help.
Ms
Cooper was dead when police arrived at the house yesterday soon after 4am. Her child was not there.
A man has been charged with her murder and appeared briefly before a justice of the peace in North Shore District Court this morning.
He was granted interim name suppression until his next appearance in the High Court in February. Bail was not applied for and he was remanded in custody.
