Rotorua Police have arrested a man for murder in connection to the death of Nicholas Mitchell last week.

Mr Mitchell, 37, was found deceased in a vehicle on Ford Road shortly before 8:30pm last Friday.

A 28-year-old man was arrested last night and is due to appear in Rotorua District Court today on a murder charge.

Detective Senior Sergeant Mark van Kempen says the development is positive, but work is still ongoing.

“We continue to make further enquiries into Mr Mitchell’s death, and cannot rule out further arrests,” he says.
