A man has been charged with the murder of a Tauranga man, whose body was found in a secluded part of a park in the city last week.
Dax Holland's body was found in Wharepai Domain on Saturday, February 14.
A post-mortem of the 54-year-old found his death to be suspicious, and a homicide investigation was launched by police.
This afternoon, Detective Senior Sergeant Natalie Flowerdew-Brown said a 24-year-old has been charged with murder.
He was due to appear in the Tauranga District Court tomorrow.
