A 60-year-old woman has been charged with murder after a person was found dead at a Dunedin home yesterday.
Police were called to the scene on Tainui Rd at 5.20 last night. Police said it was a "sudden death" and was being treated as unexplained.
She appeared in Dunedin District Court today and was remanded in custody ahead of a High Court appearance next month.
She was granted interim name suppression.
"We know that this tragic event has shaken the community and Police and Victim Support will be working closely to offer support for all involved," Sergeant Nik Leigh said earlier.
