Counties Manukau Police say a 19-year-old has been charged with murder following the
death of a man last month.
Police say they were called to Wymondley Road in Ōtara shortly before midnight on August
1 after reports of a group of people fighting in the street.
Upon arrival at the scene, two men were located with critical injuries, police say.
They were transported to hospital, however, one of the men, Greig Kelvin Temarama-Abela,
died a short time later.
Detective inspector Tofilau Faamanuia Vaaelua, of the Counties Manukau Police CIB, says a
man who was charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm in relation to the second victim from the altercation, has now also been charged with Greig’s murder.
“We’re pleased to have been able to charge someone in relation to this tragic incident.
“The 19-year-old man will appear in Manukau District Court tomorrow [September 23]
charged with murder,” Vaaelua says.
As the matter is now before the court, police say they’re limited in providing further
comment publicly.
