Rigby, 18, was killed in September 2022, during an unplanned holiday to see her father and stepmother.
18 岁的里格比于 2022 年 9 月在一次计划外的假期中被杀害，当时她想去看望她的父亲和继母。
Her body was found in a dark grey Toyota Corona in River Road reserve near Havelock North.
她的尸体是在 Havelock North 附近的 River Road 保护区的一辆深灰色丰田 Corona 中被发现的。
The arrested man – who was living in Hawke’s Bay at the time of Rigby’s death – was arrested in Favona.
被捕男子 – 里格比死亡时住在霍克斯湾 – 在法沃纳被捕。
He has also been charged with arson and will be appearing in the Manukau District Court tomorrow
他还被指控纵火，将于明天在曼努考地区法院出庭
De Lange said police will be seeking a remand in custody without plea, so the charges can be transferred to Napier District Court.
德兰格表示，警方将在不认罪的情况下寻求还押，以便将指控转移到纳皮尔地区法院。
He said the family had been informed of the arrest.
他说，家人已经被告知了被捕的消息。
“While they are very pleased that someone is being held to account for Ariki’s death, it doesn’t lessen the hurt and pain they have at the loss of Ariki, who would have turned 21 later this month.
“虽然他们很高兴有人被追究阿里基之死的责任，但这并不能减轻他们对失去阿里基的伤害和痛苦，阿里基本应在本月晚些时候年满 21 岁。”
“I would like to acknowledge the investigation team, who have worked tirelessly to get this result, and also those members of our community who have assisted our enquiries.”
“我要感谢为获得这一结果而不懈努力的调查小组，以及协助我们调查的社区成员。”

Police failed to realise there was a dead body in the burned out car when they first checked on it. Officers visited the car after a caller told police on 3 September 2022 that they thought they had seen the body of an animal on the floor in the back of the vehicle, but the body was not discovered until 5 September.
警方在第一次检查时没有意识到这辆烧毁的汽车里有一具尸体。2022 年 9 月 3 日，一名来电者告诉警方，他们认为在车辆后部的地板上看到了一具动物尸体，但直到 9 月 5 日才发现尸体，之后警方查看了这辆车。
At the time of Rigby’s funeral, a family spokesperson said she was a beautiful, passionate person, who lived life at “full throttle”.
在里格比的葬礼上，她的一位家庭发言人说，她是一个美丽、充满激情的人，她的生活 “充满活力”。
Earlier this month, the family released a fresh plea for information, saying in a statement that they were still hurting.
本月早些时候，这家人发布了一份新的信息请求，在一份声明中说他们仍然很受伤。
“She had her whole life ahead of her and was taken from us far too soon.
“她的一生都在等着她，而且太早就离开了我们。
“Ariki would have turned 21 later this month and instead of celebrating with her, we are left holding onto the memory of our beautiful girl who we wish dearly was still with us today.”
“Ariki 本月晚些时候将年满 21 岁，我们没有和她一起庆祝，而是留下了对我们美丽女孩的记忆，我们非常希望她今天仍然与我们同在。”
