A 21-year-old man has made a brief appearance in court after the alleged murder of a man at a Waihi Beach property.
The man, who was granted interim name suppression, wore a blue boiler suit as he stood in the dock of the Hamilton District Court this afternoon, facing a charge of the murder of 22-year-old Joshua Michael Louis Copestake.
Copestake was allegedly killed at a Seaforth Rd property on Saturday night.
