An 18-year-old man has been charged with murder following the discovery of a woman's body on Auckland's North Shore.
Officers were called to a property in Eban Ave, Hillcrest just after 7am on Monday, finding the body of a young woman, and a bloodstained knife.
The police say the arrested man will appear in the North Shore District Court on Tuesday morning.
They are not seeking anyone else in connection with the death.
