Police have arrested a person in relation to the death of a 60-year-old man in Pakuranga.
Detective Inspector Mike Hayward of Counties Manukau Police’s criminal investigation branch says a homicide investigation has been launched and an arrest made following the death of a man in hospital on April 26.
Police were making enquiries after a 60-year-old man was taken to hospital from a property in Pakuranga on April 17 with serious head injuries.
Hayward says the man died as a result of his injuries yesterday and a homicide investigation was subsequently launched.
A 48-year-old male was last week arrested and charged with wounding with intent to injure and is due to re-appear in the Manukau District Court on May 3.
Hayward says further charges will be considered and the investigation remains ongoing.
