    Two men, a woman and a teenager have been arrested following the death of Jamaine Wharton at a 21st in the Bay of Plenty last weekend


    The 31-year-old was assaulted and stabbed at Waiohau Rugby clubrooms last Saturday.

    He was taken to Whakatane Hospital in the early hours of Sunday morning, where he died.

    Police have arrested two men aged 25 and 20, and a 16-year-old.
