A homicide investigation has been launched after the death of man who fell from a balcony at a flat in Auckland on Wednesday night.
Paul Stewart Kingi, a 57-year-old man from Glen Innes, was admitted to Auckland Hospital on Wednesday night and died on Thursday night.
An autopsy today revealed that Mr Kingi died as a result of blunt force trauma to the head.
Two Glenn Innes men, aged 64 and 37, appeared in Auckland District Court yesterday facing assault charges. They were remanded on bail without plea until March 25.
Police will decide whether further charges are to be laid once their investigation, which is expected to take a week, is complete.
