A teenager has pleaded guilty to murdering an elderly Wellington man in Hamilton last year.
Connor Rewha Te Wara was 14 and his friends Ben Purua, then 15, and William Frederick Izett, then 17, when they beat Donald Stewart, 74, to death in June 2010.
Mr Stewart was found dead with head injuries near a public toilet in the central city. His Peugeot car was later found at an Auckland wrecker's yard.
Te Wara, now 15, plead guilty in the High Court at Hamilton yesterday, The Dominion Post reported.
The plea makes him one of New Zealand's youngest murderers.
