Three of the four men charged with the murder of Darshak Naran, found critically injured on the side of Hampton Downs Rd in Waikato on October 14, have been identified as Takarea Hemi Hei-Hei, Keelan Mita Karaka, and Kasper Wiremu Jones.
The men, along with a fourth accused who remains unnamed, appeared in the High Court at Hamilton, where Justice Timothy Brewer lifted interim name suppression and entered not guilty pleas for each defendant.
The trial is set for February 2027, though it could occur earlier if scheduling permits.
