    A man has pleaded not guilty - to a charge of murdering a Te Kuiti baby

    A man has pleaded not guilty - to a charge of murdering a Te Kuiti baby


    NZ Herald's Open Justice reports the 22-year-old denies murdering 10-month-old Mustafa Ali last month.

    The baby died in hospital - from blunt-force injuries police allege were non-accidental.

    The man was accompanied by an interpreter, and stayed calm throughout the hearing.

    A three-week trial date has been set for February 2026.
