Two men will remain in custody on assault charges related to the death of Napier man Alex Latimer.

Two men aged 26 and 24, who both have interim name suppression, appeared in Hastings District Court today.

They were charged with assault after police began looking into the disappearance of Latimer, 30, on September 30.

Police prosecutor Sergeant Mike O'Brien told the Hastings District Court today further charges remained possible, but the decision had yet to be made.

Judge Tony Adeane denied the pair's applications for bail and remanded them to reappear on November 6.
