A man appeared in the High Court at Rotorua today and pleaded not guilty to the murder of Kawerau mother Korrey Whyman.
The man can’t be named for legal reasons and Justice Neil Campbell has granted him interim name suppression.
The man, who appeared in court via audio-visual link, entered not guilty pleas through his lawyer, Andy Hill, to three charges including murder and two charges of discharging a firearm with reckless disregard in relation to other people as part of the same incident.
All three charges relate to alleged offending on September 25 in Rotorua.
Justice Campbell remanded the man in custody to reappear in the High Court at 9am on September 15.
