A man bashed early yesterday morning has died in Auckland's Middlemore hospital.
The 60-year-old man was found bleeding with massive head injuries in Station Road in the south Auckland suburb of Otahuhu at 2am yesterday.
Yesterday a 21-year-old Turangi man was charged in connection with the incident. He appeared in the Manukau District Court yesterday and was remanded in custody and was due to appear again on Friday.
The dead man lived at the Wembley Private Hotel in Otahuhu. His neighbours described him as a "nice fella" with long, grey hair and a moustache.
Police said no weapons were involved and alcohol appeared to be a factor.
