A 25-year-old man will stand trial accused of murdering a father of four in South Auckland in March.
Sam Simi was committed to trial following a depositions hearing at Manukau District Court this week.
He was accused of stabbing Olo Fiti, 37, to death outside a friend's place in Preston Rd, Otara on March 27.
The hearing established that there was a case to answer. Simi will next appear at the High Court at Auckland for a callover.
