Mt Roskill residents living near a house where a woman was killed this morning say they woke up to a loud bang.
The police were called to an address on May Road just after half-past-seven where they found a woman with critical injuries.
She has since died and the police have arrested a man who is now assisting with a homicide investigation.
RNZ's reporter, Anneke Smith, speaks to Māni Dunlop from the scene.
