Detective Senior Sergeant Paul Wilson:
Police have today arrested a fourth man for the murder of 48-year-old Mark Hohua in Whakatāne.
Mr Hohua died in hospital early on June 19 from injuries sustained the previous evening.
The 43-year-old man is due to appear in Tauranga District Court tomorrow (July 21) charged with murder.
This follows the previous arrests of three men aged 25, 32 and 34. They have all made initial court appearances and are remanded in custody.
