Two men have been arrested and charged with the murder of a 37-year-old man in west Auckland.

Benjamin McIntosh, 37, was found in a critical condition in a park on Glendale Road in Glen Eden last Friday. 

He was taken to Auckland Hospital and underwent surgery but later died from his injuries. 

Waitematā District Crime Manager Detective Inspector John Sutton said overnight police have arrested and charged two people with his murder.

Two men, a 23-year-old and a 25-year-old, were located by police on Thursday afternoon and were subsequently arrested and charged overnight.

Meanwhile, a third person, a 24-year-old woman, has been charged as an accessory after the fact in relation to the murder.

Dect Insp Sutton said all three people will appear via Audio-Visual Link in Waitākere Court on Friday and police are not seeking anyone else in relation to the murder.

"We would like to thank the community for their support and cooperation throughout the investigation," Dect Insp said.
