A man charged with the murder of a 2-year-old child can now be named.

Aaron Archer, 30, appeared in High Court at Auckland this morning before Justice Simon Moore.

He entered a not guilty plea and elected a jury trial, which is scheduled for next August.

The child died at a Mangawhai Heads address on August 22.
