A teenager accused of the murder of a former classmate in Kerikeri last month will go to a depositions hearing in April.
The hearing would decide if he should stand trial for the murder and indecent assault of Liberty Templeman, 15, in the Far North town early in November.
The 14-year-old appeared in the Youth Court at Kaikohe today and cannot be named. A two-day depositions hearing was due to begin on April 7.
Liberty, known as Libby, was found dead beside Kerikeri's Wairoa Stream on November 2, after disappearing on the way to meet a boyfriend.
The boy has been in the custody of Child, Youth and Family since his arrest and no application for bail was made today.
