Three people have appeared in court charged with two separate homicides in the space of 24 hours in Auckland.
A 35-year-old man and a 26-year-old woman were arrested following the death of an elderly man at an Upper Queen Street apartment.
And hours later, a 19-year-old was charged with murder at an Epsom motel.
Felix Walton and Marika Khabazi spoke to residents near the scenes.
