Police say they are holding off releasing the name of the woman killed in Ngakuru on Monday.

The 50-year-old woman died at house in the small farming community south of Rotorua on Monday.

A man has been charged with murder and has been remanded in custody to reappear in the Rotorua District Court on December 14. He has interim name suppression.

Police said today given there were suppression orders in place, they would not release the name of the woman who died.

Police were called to the Ngakuru property at 7.15am on Monday.

They said no further details would be released about the homicide investigation.
