A man has been charged with murder after the death of a woman in West
Auckland over the weekend, police say.

The 43-year-old suspect, who was allegedly known to the victim, has been
taken into custody and charged today.

Police were called to a home in Massey early on Sunday morning, where they
found the woman's body. A post-mortem examination has since been completed.

Detective Senior Sergeant Megan Goldie released the first details on the
incident today.

"Officers responded to an address on Chorley Rd at around 12.50am on June 9,
and found a woman deceased at the residential property," she said in a media
release.

"A scene examination commenced today and will continue into tomorrow, with
further enquiries continuing as we piece together what occurred. Police would
like to extend our condolences to the woman's family at this extremely
difficult time."

The man has been scheduled to appear in the Waitakere District Court tomorrow.
