Man arrested in Rae Portman case

A man has been charged with kidnapping homicide victim Rae Portman.

Counties Manukau police said the 36-year-old man would appear in Papakura District Court this afternoon charged with kidnapping Ms Portman in June last year, and drug-dealing offences.

Ms Portman, 33, was four months pregnant when she went missing on June 20 last year.

Her body was found on a south Auckland farm four months later.

Paraire Hori Te Awa has been charged with her murder and kidnap. He will reappear later this month.

Another man, Lee Rigby, 32, appeared in Manukau District Court yesterday where he pleaded guilty to kidnapping Ms Portman.
