A 28-year-old woman has been charged with the murder of a teenager in the Auckland suburb of Māngere.
The woman appeared today in the Manukau District Court accused of murdering Demetrius Pairama earlier this month.
Her lawyer, Matthew Goodwin, argued for interim name suppression, on the grounds of personal safety to his client.
Police supported the application for name suppression, which was hesitantly granted by Judge Tony Couch.
Details of the alleged offending were also suppressed.
