A Maketu man accused of shooting 46-year-old Isaac Dale Bushell, who was found dead in a local park, has been granted bail.
Tyrone Daniel Flavell, 19, faced one count of murder when he appeared in Tauranga District Court today.
Mr Bushell's body was discovered in a park at Beach Rd, Maketu after he had earlier left a party nearby about 1.45am yesterday.
Police did not oppose bail for Flavell, who has been bailed on a raft of strict conditions, including regularly reporting to police.
For legal reasons, the address the defendant has been bailed to has been suppressed.
Flavell's next court appearance is in the Tauranga High Court on December 16.
He is yet to enter a plea to the charge.
