Police have now arrested and charged three people for the murder of Ōtāhuhu

Police launched a homicide investigation after the 75 year old was shot and
killed in his home on 22 August 2021.

Three men, aged 18, 21 and 29 have been jointly charged with murder and are
expected to appear in Counties Manukau District Court today.

The investigation is ongoing and Police cannot rule out the possibility of
further charges being laid.
