Police are examining the home in which a West Auckland woman was found dead.

The 24-year-old was killed early on Saturday in what is believed to be a family dispute.

Police discovered the body at the house in the suburb of Henderson after they were called to an incident in Woodside Road.

A 19-year-old woman appeared in Waitakere District Court on Tuesday charged with the woman's murder.

She has been remanded in custody and will reappear in court later this month.
