A 19-year-old has now been charged with murder following the death of a man in Ōtara last month.
Police were called to Wymondley Road shortly before midnight on 1 August after reports of a group of people fighting in the street.
Upon arrival, two men were located with critical injuries.
They were transported to hospital, however sadly, one of the victims, Greig Kelvin Temarama-Abela, died a short time later.
Detective Inspector Tofilau Faamanuia Vaaelua, Counties Manukau CIB, says a man who was charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm in relation to the second victim from the altercation, has now also been charged with Greig’s murder.
“We are pleased to have been able to charge someone in relation to this tragic incident.
“The 19-year-old man will appear in Manukau District Court tomorrow charged with murder.”
As the matter is now before the Court, Police are limited in providing further comment.
