Police have made two more arrests after a man was stabbed in Auckland’s Mount Wellington.
A homicide investigation was launched on Friday afternoon after a man, whose identity is suppressed, was stabbed several times during a fight in a car on Harris Road.
Police previously said the injured man was in an “altercation” with people in a car before he was stabbed.
The victim turned up at a medical centre on Lunn Ave with critical wounds. He later died in Auckland Hospital.
A 21-year-old man has been charged with murder.
Detective Inspector Scott Beard says four arrests have now been made in the investigation.
In the latest, a 53-year-old man was arrested near Te Awamutu and charged with being an accessory after the fact to murder.
A 32-year-old man arrested in Auckland faces the same charge.
The men are expected to appear today in the Hamilton and Auckland District Courts respectively.
The investigation is ongoing.
