A young Wanganui man has been named as the person found dead in a Panmure home yesterday.
Shane Paul Hawe-Wilson, 19, was allegedly "viciously attacked" at the address where he died, police said.
A 35-year-old Balmoral man was charged with his murder at an appearance in the Auckland District Court today.
The man was remanded in custody until July 22 to appear in the Auckland High Court. He has interim name suppression.
The post-mortem examination has been completed and Mr Hawe-Wilson's body was returned to his family, members of whom travelled from Wanganui.
Police expect to conclude their scene examination today on the Jellicoe Road address where Mr Hawe-Wilson died.
