Police launched a homicide investigation after Bayden Williams' body was discovered on State Highway 25A between Kopu and Hikuai earlier this month.

A 20-year-old man has been arrested for selling a firearm and will appear in Thames District Court next week.

A 23-year-old man has previously appeared in court charged with murder.
