Two people have been charged with murder after a man was found dead outside a Taranaki property at the weekend.
Emergency services were called after the victim, Jacob Ramsay, was found outside the property on Kina Rd in Oaonui at about 8:40am on Sunday.
Two men have since been charged with murder in relation to Ramsay's death, said a police statement.
The men, aged 39 and 18, were due to appear in the New Plymouth District Court on Wednesday.
Det Insp Brent Matuku said an investigation was continuing into the timeline of Ramsay's movements before his death.
Matuku said anyone who may have witnessed a physical altercation involving Ramsay in Ōakura at about 5pm on Friday was urged to contact the police.
"We also want to talk to anyone who saw a silver-coloured 2005 Peugeot station wagon in Ōakura at about that time or may have noticed it travelling in the coastal area on that Friday evening."
Anyone with information should contact police on 105, quoting file number 220731/0100.
