A Hamilton man accused of murdering his infant son can now be named.
Charlie Lackner, 33, of Hamilton East, appeared before the High Court at Hamilton this morning to face a charge of murdering his 8-month-old son Cassius Takiari.
He has entered a not guilty plea.
Police initially charged Lackner with assaulting the child, whom a neighbour said was his son, following an incident at their house on June 15.
The baby boy, a twin, was admitted to Waikato Hospital that day with head injuries but was later moved to Starship Children's Hospital and died the following night.
