Pair charged with murder of Auckland man Shannon Baker appear in court

Two men have appeared in court jointly charged with murder following a homicide investigation into an Auckland man's death.

Shannon Shelby Baker was found dead at his Sandringham home in December last year.

A 34-year-old and a 28-year-old have been charged with murder, aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary.

Both men appeared at the Auckland District Court today.

Appearing separately, the 34-year-old was remanded in custody where he's due to reappear in the High Court next month. The 28-year-old will reappear at the High Court next week for a bail application hearing.

Both men were granted interim name suppression.

Police made the arrests following searches at two properties yesterday morning.
