The 19-year-old male charged over the death of Hawke's Bay man Mark Geoffrey Beale can be named.
Interim name suppression was revoked for Johnnie Puna, who appeared by audio visual link before Justice Simon France at High Court in Wellington this morning.
Represented by Eric Forster, Puna entered no plea to a charge of murder.
Family members of Beale sat quietly in the gallery. Puna's mother appeared during the appearance and yelled "I love you son!" before Puna disappeared from the screen at the end of the hearing.
Police found Beale left for dead on a beach at Haumoana on Waitangi Day. He had been assaulted overnight.
