One of two teenagers charged with murdering a man whose body was found at Matahorua Rd near Tutira on December 18 last year had name suppression lifted in the High Court at Napier yesterday morning.
Shaun Liam Karauria, 17, and another teenager were charged with murder in December last year, but name suppression was lifted for only Karauria.
The court also lifted name suppression for the victim, Sandeep Dhiman, aged 30, who had been living in Napier at the time of his death and was due to visit home this month to get married.
According to Indian media, his parents were visiting another son in Australia when they got the news of their son's death, having last spoken to him about 6pm the night before.
Justice David Collins conducted the proceedings via video-link and allowed Karauria and Mr Dhiman to be named, but counsel for the other teenager involved asked that her name suppression be continued.
