At his first court appearance in the Manukau District Court, a suppression order was made prohibiting the publication of both his and Wang's names and "details of the charge".

Today that suppression order was lifted by Justice Simon Moore.
Wang was the mother of a toddler and it is understood the child was at home with her at the time of the fatal attack.
Xi Wang, 34, was attacked in her home on December 10, police say.
Just hours before she died Wang posted a series of photographs on Facebook showing her having dinner with her son.
In one shot, the pair appear to "cheers" each other - she with a glass of red wine and the little boy with his milk cup.
Beazley first appeared in the Manukau District Court on December 12 charged with one count of murder.
Court documents reveal Beazley lives in Rotorua and works as a farmer.
It is understood and he and Wang were in a relationship but had been separated for some time.
The night she died, police were called to Wang's home just after 10pm.
She was unconscious, with a number of serious wounds.
A source confirmed she had been stabbed many times all over her head and body.
At the time, Detective Inspector Tofilau Faa Va'aelua said the woman was transported to Middlemore Hospital but her injuries were too severe and she died soon after.
While officers were at the scene, a man contacted police claiming responsibility for the violent attack.
