A 43-year-old man charged with the murder of a Christchurch teenager has appeared in court on Wednesday afternoon.

Connor Whitehead was fatally shot while attending a birthday party last Friday.

The accused did not apply for bail when he appeared in the Christchurch District Court and was remanded in custody.

He will next appear in the High Court on November 26, along with a 32-year-old man also charged with murder and three others charged with accessory after the fact to murder.
