The man accused of murdering and burning Christchurch woman Renee Duckmanton has today denied killing her, as her family shouted, "I'll set you on fire".
Sainey Marong, 32, appeared at the High Court in Christchurch this morning.
He pleaded not guilty to the charge of murder.
Marong was remanded in custody for a pre-trial hearing on November 25.
A three-week trial is set to begin on June 7 next year.
