A man has been charged with murder after the death of a woman in Napier. Police were called to an unresponsive woman at a house in Nuffield Ave, Marewa, about 4.25am on Friday. Arohaina Henare, 34, died at the scene, police said. A 48-yearold man was arrested on Saturday and charged with murder. He is due to appear in the Hastings District Court today. A resident in the area, who did not want to be named, on Friday said she had a message from a friend saying something was going on. ‘‘I went outside and I saw the police and the white tape . . . and that was pretty scary . . . It does give you thoughts like, ‘are we safe?’’’
