Name suppression has lapsed for a man accused of the murder of a 48-year-old in Te Awamutu.
Through his lawyer Gerard Walsh, Jack Kaea, 19, didn't pursue his suppression bid when he made a brief appearance via audio visual link in the High Court in Hamilton this morning.
Kaea is accused of the murder of Raymond Kaea at a Hazelmere Crescent property on December 15 last year following reports of an alleged altercation.
