A 60-year-old man has been charged with murder following the death of a man at a brothel in Auckland last month.

A 30-year-old man, who has not been publicly identified, was found dead at the Gentleman's Club in the Auckland suburb of Epsom on March 10, prompting a homicide investigation.

Today police confirmed they've arrested another man who's been charged with murder and will appear in Auckland District Court tomorrow.

The two men were previously known to each other, police say.
