    Another youth is facing charges following the death of a 15-year-old in Napier earlier this year


    Kaea Karauria was fatally stabbed in May.

    Three teenagers are already facing murder charges - with two pleading not guilty and the third set to enter a plea.

    Police say they've arrested another youth and charged them with intent to injure.

    They'll appear in Youth Court at a later date.
