Police is speaking with a man in connection with a homicide investigation underway in Ōtāhuhu.

Enquiries began after a callout to Beatty Street at about 8.30pm on Sunday night, to reports of a person being seriously injured.

A man was transported to hospital but later succumbed to his injuries.

Detective Inspector Karen Bright, of Counties Manukau CIB, says the investigation team took a man into custody this afternoon.

“We are currently speaking to the 31-year-old as part of our enquiries,” she says.

“This is positive progress in our investigation and at this point we are not seeking anyone else.”

Police anticipate confirmation of charging decisions tomorrow morning.

“Other aspects of our enquiry will continue, with a scene examination and a post-mortem examination to be carried out,” Detective Inspector Bright says.
