The man accused of murdering a jogger in an upmarket Auckland suburb can be revealed as Tevita Mafi Filo.
Joanne Marie Pert, 41, a student and mother-of-two, lived in central Auckland and was out jogging through Remuera when she was allegedly attacked on Shore Rd on January 7.
Filo, a Mt Roskill resident, handed himself in to police on the same day.
The 24-year-old appeared in the High Court at Auckland yesterday morning where his lawyer Louise Freyer accepted name suppression should lapse.
No pleas were entered.
