    One of two brothers jailed for life more than 17 years ago, for the murder of Rotorua toddler Nia Glassie, says he's innocent of murder

    One of two brothers jailed for life more than 17 years ago, for the murder of Rotorua toddler Nia Glassie, says he's innocent of murder


    The three-year-old died after months of abuse and torture.

    Wiremu Curtis had his first Parole Board hearing today.

    The 34-year old has told the board his older brother, Michael, delivered the fatal kick and had him stabbed in prison when he refused to confess.

    Curtis says he had a part in the murder, but didn't do it.

    The Board's denied him parole, and scheduled him time with a psychologist.

    His next hearing is in a year.
