The woman found dead at a Palmerston North house has been named as 23-year-old Aaliyah Phillips Wilson by police.
Emergency services received reports of a person being seriously injured at an address on Featherston Street in Roslyn just after midnight on Thursday.
Wilson received medical attention but died at the scene, police said.
A homicide investigation has since been launched.
The post-mortem examination has now been completed but officers remained at the scene conducting a scene examination and further enquires, police said.
They were supporting the family of the deceased and said they understood it was a distressing incident for those involved and the wider community.
Police said they had positive lines of enquiry and that those involved would be identified and apprehended.
