Media are asked to remove the additional charges listed in our original media release on the youth charged with the murder of Kaea Karauria, as ordered by the Judge in Napier Youth Court today.
This is due to the charges being a separate matter to the murder charge, and these charges will go through separate Court proceedings.
We ask media to please update any stories to reflect this.
Thank you for your understanding.
