Detective Inspector Mark Gutry advises that a second man will appear in the Papakura District Court this morning (Friday 5th of September)
on a charge of assaulting Mr CECIL. This morning's appearance of a 20 year old man, a security guard, follows an earlier appearance this week of a 21 year old unemployed man also on a charge of assaulting Mr CECIL. In the matter of the 20 year old man appearing in Court today, Police will be opposing bail. The 21 year old man who appeared in Court earlier this week was remanded in custody.

Further arrests are possible whilst it is likely more serious charges may follow says Mr Gutry.

The victim, Mr CECIL remains in a critical condition at Middlemore Hospital.
