Name suppression has lapsed for two South Auckland men implicated in the killing of a mother and her daughter.
Papatoetoe panel beater Kamal Gyanendra Reddy, 41, pleaded not guilty to the murder of Mubarak Yusef - more commonly known as Pakeeza Faizal - and her daughter Juwairiyah Kalim, also known as "Jojo", after human remains were discovered under the Takapuna overbridge last month.
At the High Court in Auckland this morning, Bal Krishna Naidu, 65, also denied a charge of being a party to the murder.
Court documents allege he knew of the crimes and assisted Reddy to avoid arrest.
Ms Faizal and 3-year-old Jojo were killed in late December 2006 or early 2007, at their Howick home, police believe.
Police said Reddy was known to the victims.
