A man has been charged with manslaughter over the death of a New Zealander whose body was found in a Perth laneway this week.

Daniel Joseph Hewitt was found in the northern outer suburb of Butler on Wednesday.

Mr Hewitt, who was 40, reportedly moved to the area 10 years ago.

The 34-year-old accused man, from the Perth suburb of Greenwood, is due to appear in the Perth Magistrates Court later on Friday.
