Police investigating the death of Helen Gregory can today advise an arrest was made this morning.
A 52-year-old woman was taken into custody and has been charged with murder in relation to Helen’s death on 24 January this year.
This is a significant development in the investigation and our thoughts are with Helen’s family at this time.
The 52-year-old is due to appear in Wellington District Court tomorrow.
A search of the Porirua landfill was completed on Saturday and a search is being undertaken at the woman’s address.
