Police investigating the death of a Kawerau woman shot inside a moving vehicle have charged a second man with her alleged murder.
Police say Korrey Whyman, a mum of three from Kawerau, was shot in the head inside a vehicle as it travelled on State Highway 33 towards Mourea, near Rotorua, on September 25. The 28-year-old was rushed to hospital but died from her injuries.
In a statement tonight, Detective Inspector Lindsay Pilbrow said a 22-year-old man was arrested this afternoon and charged with murder.
He also faced two charges of discharging a firearm with reckless disregard in relation to other people as part of the same incident.
He was due to appear in the Rotorua District Court on Tuesday.
