    Two youths have pleaded not guilty to murder following the death of a 15-year-old in Napier earlier this year


    Kaea Karauria was fatally stabbed in May.

    Open Justice reports three teenage boys, ages 16 and 15, have appeared in the High Court today and have name suppression.

    Two have entered not guilty pleas and counsel for the other says a plea will be entered at a later hearing.

    A trial has been scheduled for July next year.

    All three are remanded to secure residences under the care of Oranga Tamariki.
