A 57-year-old woman has been charged with murder following the death of a man in Kaitaia.
Emergency services were called to an Okahu Road address shortly after midday on Sunday following a report of assault.
The man was found critically injured but despite efforts by emergency services, he died at the scene.
Acting Detective Inspector Tania Jellyman said police arrested the woman at a different address on Sunday afternoon and later charged her with murder.
"Police are not seeking anyone else in relation to this matter," Jellyman said in a statement.
"A scene examination is continuing and a post mortem examination will be carried out in the coming days.
"Police will look to release more details about the man after these processes have been completed."
The woman was expected to appear in Kaitaia District Court later today.
