Police have charged a man with murder, hours after a body was found at a house in the Dunedin suburb of Brockville this morning.

A 47-year-old man is in custody following the discovery of a 66-year-old man's body.

Police says scene examinations have been carried out at two Dunedin addresses.

The arrested man will appear in court tomorrow, and a post mortem exam of the body will also be carried out tomorrow.

Police say they aren't looking for anyone else in connection with the death.
