A woman has been charged with the murder of Johnny Junior Bennett, who was stabbed to death last month.

The 22-year-old is the second person to be charged after a 19-year-old woman was early charged with murder.

Mr Bennett was stabbed on December 1 and died a week later.

The 22-year-old woman is due to appear in Hamilton District Court today.

The 19-year-old is due to reappear in the same court on February 4.
