Two people have been charged in relation to the death of Tristan Oakes in the Bay of Plenty town of Te Puke.

The 29-year-old was found critically injured from a gunshot wound at his home on Saturday and died the next day in hospital.

Detective Senior Sergeant Natalie Flowerdew-Brown said two men, aged 39 and 40, have been arrested.

Both men will appear in the Tauranga District Court tomorrow on the charge of murder.

“Our thoughts are with this friends and family at this difficult time,” Flowerdew-Brown said.

“Police would like to thank the community for their assistance during the investigation.”
