The 19-year-old accused of murdering a woman in west Auckland will appear in court this morning.

He's charged with killing Cun Xiu Tian, and two counts of sexually violating the 69-year-old at her Te Atatu home last month.

A 43-year-old woman is also appearing in the Waitakete District Court in relation to the case, charged with being an accessory after the fact.
