A 19-year-old has been charged with murder following the death of a man in the Auckland suburb of Ōtara last month.
Police were called to Wymondley Rd shortly before midnight on August 1 following reports of a group of people fighting in the street.
Two men were taken to hospital after they were found with critical injuries.
One of the victims, formally named by police today as Greig Kelvin Temarama-Abela, died a short time later.
The second victim had since been discharged from hospital.
A 19-year-old man appeared in court on August 4 charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm in relation to the second victim from the altercation.
Detective Inspector Tofilau Faamanuia Vaaelua today said the man had now also been charged with Temarama-Abela's murder.
“We are pleased to have been able to charge someone in relation to this tragic incident," he said.
“The 19-year-old man will appear in Manukau District Court tomorrow charged with murder.”
