A man accused of assaulting an 8-month-old baby who has since died has been charged with the infant's murder.
The 33-year-old, who has interim name suppression, reappeared at the Hamilton District Court today.
He was remanded in custody until his next appearance on July 8 at the High Court.
Police initially charged the man with assaulting the child, whom a neighbour said was his son, following an incident at their house on Sunday.
He last appeared before the court on Tuesday where he sought bail through his lawyer.
