The 19-year-old charged with the murder and sexual violation of a Te Atatu woman Cunxiu Tian in her home has entered a not guilty plea in the High Court at Auckland this morning.
Jaden Lee Stroobant appeared in the dock dressed in a white singlet and track pants as his lawyer entered the plea on his behalf.
The teen has been charged with the murder of the 69-year-old mother and grandmother who was found dead in her Glenvil Lane home on Friday January 15.
He also faces two charges of sexual violation - the details of which are to remain suppressed.
Arms crossed and looking a little jittery the 19-year-old remained silent throughout his appearance, much unlike his one at the Waitakere District Court where he shouted and swore.
