Police have named a man who died after an alcohol-fuelled brawl at a Waikato property last weekend.
He was 49-year-old Michael Brett Godwin, Detective Senior Sergeant Mike Whitehead of the Waikato CIB said.
Mr Godwin's death was being treated as suspicious and police were today continuing inquiries at the Queen Street property in Thames. A post-mortem examination into the cause of his death was ongoing.
"A man who appeared in the Hamilton District Court yesterday in relation to the alleged assaults on two women at the address about the same time as Mr Godwin suffered his injuries was remanded in custody and granted interim name suppression," Mr Whitehead said.
Emergency services were called to the property about 4.30pm on Sunday, after Mr Godwin collapsed.
