A third person has been charged with murder after the death of a man in the Auckland suburb of Point England earlier this month.

A 53-year-old North Shore man was found dead in the middle of Point England Road two weeks ago.

Police arrested a 21-year-old man and a 22-year-old woman last week, who were charged with murder and remanded in custody.

A 19-year-old male was arrested on Tuesday and has also been charged with the man's murder.

He is expected to appear in Auckland District Court this afternoon, with the pair arrested earlier re-appearing later this month.
