A 30-year-old woman has been arrested and charged with murder in relation to the death of Taranaki man Jacob Ramsay.

The woman is the third person arrested in relation to Ramsay's death. She was arrested on Thursday morning and is due to appear in the New Plymouth District Court on Friday. 

Detective Inspector Brent Matuku said police aren't seeking anyone else in relation to the Taranaki man's murder.

"We do still want to hear from anyone that saw Jacob around the Ōakura area in the days leading up to his death," Det Insp Matuku said. 

"His family deserve to understand what led to Jacob's death and we are committed to giving them that peace of mind."

Emergency services were called after Ramsay was found outside a property on Kina Rd in Oaonui at about 8:40am on July 31. 

Since his murder, police have also arrested two men aged 39 and 18
