Police investigating a homicide in Auckland's Whenuapai have arrested a 33-year-old man.
He is charged with murder and is due to appear in Waitākere District Court today.
Detective Inspector Aaron Proctor said he hoped the arrest "brings some reassurance" to the Whenuapai and wider west Auckland communities.
Coubin Arerua Tamatoa-Makaea,
31, died from injuries suffered at a property on Trig Rd last Wednesday.
