A second man has been arrested and charged with being an accessory after the fact of murder, in relation to the death of a Bay of Plenty man.

Don Henry Turei Junior, a member of the Tribesman gang, was killed in a crash on State Highway 35, opposite the Raukokere Marae, near Te Kaha, on November 26, 2016.

'Today the 32-year-old man was arrested in Rotorua and charged,” says Detective Inspector Lew Warner.

He will be appearing in Rotorua District Court today.

This comes after a 33-year-old Te Kaha man was arrested and charged with being an accessory after the fact of murder on May 17.

'These two arrests demonstrate that Police are making progress in this homicide investigation,” says Lew.

'Further enquiries are ongoing.”
