Two men have been jointly charged with murder in relation to the death of a man in South Wairarapa yesterday afternoon.

The men, aged 23 and 25, are due to appear in Wellington District Court tomorrow.

Further charges against the pair are being considered.

Our investigation continues, with one focus being to establish what other parties may have been involved in the incident.

We can however say that Police believe it involved parties known to each other, with no ongoing risk to the public.
