Man charged with murder in Dargaville homicide investigation

Police have charged a 34-year-old man with murder following the discovery of Jasmaine Corin Reihana’s body in a burnt-out vehicle on Ripiro Beach, Dargaville, earlier this month.

Reihana, 35, was found dead inside the vehicle on 9 September. Since then, police have been investigating the circumstances surrounding her death.

Detective Inspector Al Symonds of Northland CIB confirmed the murder charge, stating, “Police have conducted an extensive investigation to ensure the person responsible for her murder can be held to account.”

He commended the investigative team and thanked the community for their assistance throughout the inquiry. “It has been our team’s focus to hold to account the person we will allege is responsible for Jasmine’s murder, and we hope this brings some relief to her whānau.”

Police have confirmed they are not seeking anyone else in connection with the case. The accused is set to appear in Whangārei District Court on Monday, 30 September.

As the case is now before the court, police are unable to provide further comment.
