A 19-year-old man has been charged with murder after the death of a man injured in an Ōtara street fight last month.
Two men were found with critical injuries when police were called to Wymondley Road in the Auckland suburb shortly before midnight on 1 August, after reports of a group of people fighting in the street.
The men were taken to hospital and Greig Kelvin Temarama-Abela died a short time later.
The 19-year-old man was arrested that weekend and initially charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm over the second victim, but has now been charged with the murder of Temarama-Abela.
Detective Inspector Tofilau Faamanuia Vaaelua, Counties Manukau CIB, said the man will appear in Manukau District Court tomorrow.
"We are pleased to have been able to charge someone in relation to this tragic incident."
