Waitematā Police have charged two men in relation to the death of a 36-year-old man in Helensville last month.

Police conducted a series of search warrants in both Waitematā and Northland districts early this morning and located two persons believed to be involved, Acting Detective Inspector Tim Williams, Waitematā CIB said in a police release.

“Two men, who we believe are linked to the Head Hunters gang, were taken into custody and both have been charged with murder,” Williams said. “A 31-year-old male is due to appear in the Whangārei District Court today, while a 42-year-old male is due to appear in the Waitākere District Court today.

“Both will have their bail opposed,” Williams added.

Police had been making inquiries after the victim, identified as Samuel Curle of Auckland, was located with serious injuries on Kaipara Coast Highway just after midnight on Nov. 6, 2023.

“He sadly died on 26 November as a result of his injuries,” Williams said.
