    The man has been granted continued name suppression, after appearing via audio visual link in the High Court at Hamilton this morning.

    His lawyer, Sheila Cameron, successfully applied for the extension, citing her client's fragile mental health state.

    The man also denies charges of robbery causing grievous bodily harm, threatening to kill, and driving while disqualified.

    A three week trial date has been set down for November, next year.
