A man has pleaded guilty to manslaughter over an unprovoked attack outside a rugby clubroom in Taranaki.
Daytona Thompson
fatally punched Daniel Nganeko last month.
A big court gathered outside the High Court at New Plymouth for today's hearing, many wearing white t-shirts bearing the image of Nganeko and the slogan "March for Daniel, March for Change".
Lawyers for 22-year-old Thompson asked that a restorative justice conference be considered.
He was remanded in custody until his sentencing in October.
