'Dumped body' murder accused in court

A man appeared in court today charged with the murder of a man whose body was dumped at Auckland Hospital.

The body of Bjorn Henderson, 28, was dropped off at the hospital's emergency department on March 10 by a car driver who then left the scene.

A 27-year-old unemployed man made a brief appearance at Auckland District Court this morning charged with murdering Mr Henderson from Hamilton.

The man was granted interim name suppression and remanded in custody until Wednesday.

Last week, an Iranian labourer, 34, appeared in court charged with assaulting Mr Henderson.
