“Murder Charge”
Auckland, 22 May – A 29 year-old man from Manurewa will appear in the Auckland District Court tomorrow charged with murder following the death of a woman who was allegedly attacked at a learning institute on Auckland’s Queen St earlier today. A 22 year-old man is in Auckland Hospital suffering serious injuries sustained during the attack.
