A woman charged with the murder of an Auckland 4-year-old has been declined bail.
Maggie Renee Watson was found dead in the early hours of August 7 in the Onehunga house she shared with her mother.
A 44-year-old woman appeared in Auckland District Court yesterday afternoon where Judge David Sharp rejected her bail bid after submissions from her lawyer, Stephen Bonnar, QC.
The judge, however, granted interim name suppression until her next appearance in the High Court at Auckland next month.
All details of the bail hearing were also suppressed.
