Police conducting the homicide investigation into the death of 30-year-old Jasmine Wilson arrested a man on Friday for allegedly perverting the course of justice.
The 48-year-old man is due to appear in Whanganui District Court on Saturday.
Jasmine died in Wellington Hospital on August 2, two days after she was taken to Whanganui Hospital in a critical condition due to non-accidental injuries.
On Tuesday August 13, her mother Brenda Reuben appealed to anyone with information in relation to her daughter's death to contact police.
Reuben said her daughter was unrecognisable due to the severe injuries she sustained that led to her death.
