A trial date of June 26, 2023, has been set for a 34-year-old man charged with murder of a 3-month old baby in Christchurch on January 2.
The man pleaded not guilty at his first appearance in the High Court at Christchurch today, where he appeared by video-link.
His defence counsel Kerry Cook said name suppression was no longer sought after it was granted at his initial Christchurch District Court appearance.
