The man charged with murdering 8-month-old Whanganui baby Bella Richardson still cannot be named.
The 25-year-old appeared in the High Court at Wellington this morning for his third appearance after being charged with Bella's murder last year.
He earlier had his first appearance in Masterton District Court, where Judge Barbara Morris granted him interim name suppression.
Defence lawyer at the time, Frank Minehan, said the incident was of "historic nature" and he was concerned for the man's mental health.
The charge would have come as "a deep shock" to his family, Minehan said.
