A 21-year-old man has been charged with murder following the death of a man in Kawerau a month ago.

The man was found dead on the front doorstep of a home on Onslow St on 26 February.

After a month-long homicide investigation, police have arrested a man in Hamilton on Thursday, a spokesperson confirmed.

The man will appear in the Hamilton District Court on Friday charged with murder.
