A 25-year-old man is facing a charge of murder over the death of Mitchell Te Kani a year ago.
In May last year, police were initially called to a disorder incident involving a group of people at a house on Maungatapu Road in Tauranga, but officers arrived to find the 51-year-old dead.
Detective Inspector Craig Rawlinson said the arrested man has also been charged with assaulting other people at the scene on 14 May 2022.
The man will appear in Tauranga District Court on Thursday.
Ten people have now been charged in relation to Te Kani's murder, Detective Inspector Rawlinson said.
Enquiries are continuing and police have asked anyone with information that may assist to call 105 and quote file number 220515/3688.
Information can also be provided anonymously to Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.
