Police were called to an address on Ōtara Rd at 6.50pm yesterday, where a 62-year-old man was found dead.

A 44-year-old man has been arrested and charged.

He is due to appear in the Manukau District Court later today.

Police believe the two men are known to each other. They say they are not looking for anyone else at this stage.
