A 17-year-old youth accused of the murder of Wellington journalist Phillip Cottrell has been granted bail.
Judge Stephen Harrop suppressed the conditions of bail granted for 17-year-old Manuel Penera Robinson of Avalon at the youth's appearance in Wellington District Court this morning.
Judge Harrop lifted name suppression for the teenager earlier today.
Robinson and his co-accused, 19-year-old Nicho Waipuka, were arrested last week and charged with Cottrell's murder.
Waipuka has not applied for bail.
