A homicide investigation has been launched and one person has been charged following the death of a man in Massey last night.
A 40-year-old woman has been charged with murder and is due to appear in the Wait¨¡kere District Court today.
At around 11.20pm, Police were called to Moire Road following a report of a person struck by a vehicle.
Despite efforts from first responders, the man sadly died at the scene.
Detective Senior Sergeant Nick Poland, °Â²¹¾±³Ù±ð³¾²¹³Ù¨¡ CIB, says the victim and the female were known to each other.
¡°As such, Police are not seeking anyone else in relation to this matter.
¡°We would like to reassure the community that this appears to be an isolated incident.¡±
Detective Senior Sergeant Poland says the community can expect to see an increased Police in the area while further enquiries are carried out.
¡°A scene guard remains in place this morning and will likely continue throughout the day.¡±
Police will endeavour to provide further details around the identity of the victim when we are in a position to do so.
However, as this matter is now before the Court, we are limited in providing further comment.
