Convicted killer David Tamihere has pleaded not guilty to breaching his parole conditions by flying over a crime scene with a television crew.
Tamihere, 58, appeared in Waitakere District Court this morning on the charge after TVNZ's Sunday programme flew him over a historic Coromandel murder scene, a possible breach of his parole conditions.
Tamihere, who was today ordered to reappear in court in May, could be sent back to jail if he is found guilty.
He is also likely to face a Parole Board recall hearing in April over the flight.
TVNZ has said Sunday programme staff didn't realise the flight might be a breach of parole.
