A 20-year-old Auckland man who had been set to go to trial next week for threatening to kill non-Muslim members of the community and distributing objectionable materials has instead opted to plead guilty.

The North Shore resident appeared in the High Court at Auckland this afternoon before Justice Rebecca Edwards, who allowed his interim name suppression to remain in place until sentencing next year.

The man stood in the dock alongside three guards as he pleaded guilty to one count of threatening to kill, two counts of supplying objectionable publications and six counts of possession of objectionable publications.
