A 25-year-old man has been arrested and charged with murder following the death of a man in a house fire in Levin this morning.
He is due to appear before Levin District Court tomorrow on charges of murder and arson.
Police would still like to hear from anyone who saw a black Toyota Fielder station wagon travelling between Levin and Foxton or Paraparaumu in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
A pair of grey Nike shorts are believed to have been thrown from the car while it was driving.
