Two men linked to the Head Hunters gang have been charged with murder as part of an investigation into the death of a man found critically injured on an Auckland highway last month.
Samuel Curle, 36, was found on the Kaipara Coast Highway in the middle of the night on November 6. He died 20 days later.
Police found and arrested the two suspects after executing search warrants in Auckland and Northland early this morning, Acting Detective Inspector Tim Williams said.
Police believed the pair were linked to the Head Hunters.
“A 31-year-old male is due to appear in the Whangārei District Court today, while a 42-year-old male is due to appear in the Waitākere District Court today,” he said.
Police were intending to oppose bail for both.

Further arrests, charges possible - police
Williams said police could make further arrests and lay more charges as the investigation continued.
They were unsure of the exact circumstances of the homicide and continued to ask the public for information.
