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.
