A young Wanganui man has been named as the person found dead in a Panmure home on Wednesday.
Shane Paul Hawe-Wilson, 19, was allegedly "viciously attacked" at the address where he died, police said.
A 35-year-old Balmoral man was charged with his murder at an appearance in the Auckland District Court yesterday.
The man was remanded in custody until July 22 to appear in the Auckland High Court. He has interim name suppression.
The post-mortem examination has been completed and Mr Hawe-Wilson's body was returned to his family, members of whom travelled from Wanganui.
Police expected to conclude their scene examination yesterday at the Jellicoe Rd address where Mr Hawe-Wilson died.
