Four men charged in relation to the death of a 21-year-old Auckland man have taken their bid to keep their identities secret to the Court of Appeal.
Justice Gordon denied applications for continued name suppression on March 23, but their names cannot be revealed while they appeal the decision.
The deceased, who also cannot be named, was with friends socialising and playing music in Manurewa's Jellicoe Park on October 3 last year.
But he then fell victim to what police called a "random and unprovoked attack".
Lawyers representing the men appeared at the High Court in Auckland before Justice Sally Fitzgerald today.
