A 23-year-old man has been arrested and charged with murder following the death of 23-year-old Hone Pawa in Porirua last week.
The man, who was not known to Mr Pawa, was arrested late yesterday afternoon, police said in a statement.
He is being held in police custody and will appear in the Porirua District Court on Monday.
