    A 34-year-old man is due in Tauranga District Court today charged with murder, in connection with the death of Mark Hohua in Whakatane


    The 48-year-old died in hospital last month from injuries sustained the previous evening.

    Two other men have also been charged with murder.

    A 25-year-old and a 32-year-old are remanded in custody and due to reappear in court on July 20.

    Police are still appealing for anyone who has information about how Mark Hohua sustained his injuries to come forward
