BACK IN CUSTODY: Beauen Wallace-Loretz outside court after being bailed.

Alleged murderer Beauen Wallace-Loretz has been found in Auckland after cutting off his electronic bracelet and going on the run.

Police said he was found after 4pm on Monday and was in police custody.

He will appear in the High Court at Auckland on Tuesday for a bail hearing.

Wallace-Loretz,17, absconded from his Avondale bail address last Thursday.

He had been charged with murder with alleged accomplice Leonard Nattrass-Berquist, following the death of 54-year-old Auckland man Ihaia Gillman-Harris in December.

Gillman-Harris died in hospital after an assault at an Epsom motel.

The teens were charged with his death after handing themselves into police, but were then bailed in the Auckland District Court in January.

Gillman-Harris' sister, Hirata Harris, said the family were feeling relieved.

"I guess we now await the outcome of any potential bail result. The justice system is made up of many components, the police have done what they were tasked with doing - which we are appreciative of.

"But this next process is passed onto the courts. We just await whatever they decide to do."

At the teenagers' original bail application the family had voiced opposition to bail and she said the family hadn't changed their view since then.

"But with the reality of how it all is, it's up to the courts. We'll continue focusing on what we need to, which is getting ready for the trial scheduled in October."
