A man was found stabbed to death at a Housing New Zealand complex late last Wednesday.
A 58-year-old man was arrested and charged with murder the next day - but police say they now believe someone else went into the victim's apartment that night.
Detective Inspector Mike Ford says the missing man is believed to be Maori or Polynesian, was wearing a raincoat - and possibly wielding a hammer.
Police are appealing for anyone who may have seen the man that night - or a black Nissan X-Trail with two occupants.
