The name of the man accused of murdering Christchurch teenager Hayden Miles can be revealed after a judge this morning lifted a name suppression order.
Gavin John Gosnell, 27, is accused of killing the 15-year-old on August 22 last year.
He appeared from custody at a Christchurch District Court hearingbefore Judge David Saunders today.
A psychiatric report, ordered at his last court appearance before Christmas, was not ready for the courts and he was remanded in custody at Christchurch Men's Prison until February 3.
A post-committal conference has also been scheduled, for March 23.
Two others have been charged in relation to Miles, who was the subject of a prolonged missing persons probe last year.
An 18-year-old woman, who has name suppression, has been charged with being an accessory to murder.
She did not appear in court today.
A third accused, a 35-year-old Christchurch man with name suppression, has been charged of robbing Miles of a cask of wine, iPod and cellphone on August 22 - the day police say the youngster was killed.
Miles, who was in Child, Youth and Family care, went missing after going to a friend's house at Cashel St.
His remains were found on December 13 at the Ruru Lawn Cemetery in Linwood and his distraught family laid him to rest at a memorial service on December 23.
