A man has denied murdering a baby in Ōtara, South Auckland.
The 5-month-old baby boy died on October 22.
The accused - who has name suppression - appeared briefly at the High Court at Auckland today and entered a not guilty plea.
He had earlier been granted name suppression at his first appearance in the Manukau District Court.
Justice Sally Fitzgerald continued the order to a suppression hearing next year.
