Two people have appeared in Hutt Valley District Court in relation to the death of a man in Lower Hutt.
A 40-year-old woman is charged with murder, while a 39-year-old man is charged with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
Last week, 56-year-old Davis Phillips was found on a Taita street with critical injuries of which he later died.
The pair, who have interim name suppression, have been remanded in custody without plea.
They will appear again in Wellington High Court next month.
