A 57-year-old woman has been charged with murder following the death of a man in Kaitaia yesterday.
Emergency services were called to the Okahu Road address at about 12.35pm following a report of assault.
Upon arrival, a man was located with critical injuries and despite the best efforts from emergency services, he died at the scene.
Acting Detective Inspector Tania Jellyman, Northland CIB, says Police arrested a woman at a separate address yesterday afternoon and she has since been charged with murder.
“Police are not seeking anyone else in relation to this matter.
“A scene examination is continuing and a post mortem examination will be carried out in the coming days.
“Police will look to release more details about the man after these processes have been completed.”
The 57-year-old woman will appear in Kaitaia District Court today.
As the matter is now before the Court, Police are limited in providing further comment.
ENDS.
