A man has admitted concealing a baby's body, which was found buried in the backyard of an Auckland home last month.
Christian Afoa, 29, from Mangere, pleaded guilty in Manukau District Court today to disposing of the body to conceal its birth.
He was remanded on bail for sentencing on September 16.
The baby's mother, Kulukora Akau'ola, 22, from Otahuhu, still faces a charge of assault.
Police found the body of a baby boy in a makeshift grave in Otahuhu on June 2.
