    Police have charged a man with murder after a death in Rotorua last week

    Police have charged a man with murder after a death in Rotorua last week


    Officers were called to Ford Road just before 8:30pm last Friday, after reports a vehicle had hit a tree.

    They found 37-year-old Nicholas Patrick Mitchell with critical injuries, and he died a short time later.

    Police say a 28-year-old man was arrested last night and is expected in Rotorua District Court today.

    Detective Senior Sergeant Mark van Kempen says they can't rule out further arrests
