Police have arrested two people this evening in relation to the homicide inquiry launched after the fatal stabbing of an Auckland dairy worker.
Police said officers took a 34-year-old man into custody at a New Lynn address. He has been charged with aggravated robbery and the alleged murder of 34-year-old Janak Patel.
A 42-year-old man has also been charged with robbery in relation to the incident.
They are both expected to appear in the Auckland District Court tomorrow.
Detective Inspector Scott Beard said police would “continue to support” the family of the slain dairy worker, who had only recently got married.
