An investigation has been ongoing since Police were called to an address in the area early on 19 November 2021.
Sadly, the 5-week-old baby boy died at the scene.
Police have now charged a 19-year-old man with manslaughter. The man is expected to appear in the Whangārei District Court today.
As the matter is now before the Court, Police are not in a position to comment further at this time.
