Police have arrested a man for the murder of Palmerston North man Dayne Rademakers.

In the early hours of 21 August 2023, Rademakers was found with stab wounds at an address on Clyde Crescent. He died in hospital.

Today police took a 43-year-old into custody in Shannon. He is to appear in the Palmerston North District Court on 3 February.

Police were still after a "distinctive camo-coloured beanie" as part of the investigation, detective senior sergeant Karen Heald said, but no one else was being sought in relation to the death.
