Chantel Wiki-O'Brien was found on Alfriston Rd early in the morning on 4 November, prompting a homicide investigation.

Police are appealing for any information about the 23-year-old Clendon woman's death, after arresting one 31-year-old man and charging him with arson.

They are interested in any more sightings of a white Mitsubishi Outlander which was in Weymouth on 3 November, and seen around Manurewa and Takanini that night.
