A raft of new charges have been laid against the man charged with killing Napier Plunket nurse, Victoria Foster.

Chazz Hall is accused of murdering the 24-year-old mother in her Westshore home on Labour Day this year.

The 28-year-old was shot by police in Clive, after what police describe as a dangerous chase through Napier during which officers were shot at.

As well as the murder, the Napier man's now facing charges of possession of a shot-gun, using a firearm against police, dangerous driving and failing to stop.

Chazz Hall was in a relationship with Ms Foster and is also the father of her five year old daughter.

He will be re-appearing at the High Court in Napier in February.
