A Porirua man has been arrested and charged with the murder of a Tribesmen gang member last year.
Don Henry Turei jnr was killed in a crash on State Highway 35 opposite the Raukokere Marae, near Te Kaha, on November 26th 2016.
A 39-year-old will appear in Wellington District Court today in relation to his death.
Turei, a Tribesmen gang member, had just left a family wedding when a van pushed the back tyre of his Harley Davidson, causing him to crash.
In the days following the crash police upgraded the investigation to a homicide inquiry.
A 32-year-old man and a 33-year-old man were arrested earlier this year and charged with being an accessory to his murder.
Detective Inspector Lew Warner of the Bay of Plenty police said it had been a "trying" time for Turei.
