As put by Detective Inspector Craig Sheridan:
A fourth man has been charged with murder in relation to the death of Palmerston North man Damon O’Rourke earlier this year.
Emergency services were called to a Coromandel Court address shortly before 7.30pm on Saturday 20 January, following reports of a man having been shot.
Damon, 35, was taken to hospital, where he died a short time later from his injuries.
Today Police arrested a 25-year-old man in Palmerston North. He is due to appear before the Palmerston North District Court today facing a charge of murder.
Police maintained contact with the family of Damon O’Rourke throughout the inquiry, who welcomed news of the further arrest.
A team of investigators have worked hard since January to identify and locate those involved in the murder of Damon O’Rourke and bring them before the court.
