Second fatal stabbing in Auckland

A 42-year old man has died following a stabbing incident in the West Auckland suburb of Glendene.

It was the second fatal stabbing in West Auckland this weekend.

A woman also died as a result of stab wounds at a Te Atatu address on Saturday night.

A 36-year-old woman has been charged with her murder.

The Glendene incident happened at 9pm last night.

Police were called to an address on Hepburn Road and found a man in a critical condition following a dispute with a group of three or four people.

He was treated at the scene and transported to Auckland Hospital by ambulance where he later died.

Police enquiries into the matter are ongoing and a scene examination is underway this morning.

More information will be released later today.
