Homicide in Palmerston North
Police have opened a homicide investigation into the death of a woman at a Palmerston North address overnight.
Emergency services were called about 12.10am after reports of a person being seriously injured at a residential property in Featherston Street, Roslyn.
The victim received medical attention but died at the scene.
Cordons have been put in place and a scene examination will be carried out over the following days.
This will be a shock to many in our city, however we do not believe there is a risk to the wider community.
