Nathan Te Hana has been charged with murder. Michael Joseph Graham, 57, died at a house on England St, Linwood, on Sunday. Today as Te Hana was brought into the dock Graham's son shouted abuse. A duty lawyer asked for name suppression on the grounds that Te Hana wanted to tell his family directly of his plight. But Judge Stephen O'Driscoll declined and remanded Te Hana in custody without plea to the High Court in Christchurch on February 4.
