A 31-year-old man has been charged with murder following an "altercation"
that sparked a homicide investigation at Waikanae Beach yesterday afternoon.

A homicide investigation was launched after police responded to an address on
Napier Grove where a man was seriously injured following an altercation
around 4.20pm.

"Despite receiving urgent medical attention, he died at the scene a short
time later," a police spokesperson said.

The 31-year-old man will appear in the Porirua District Court today and a
post-mortem will be carried out tomorrow.
