Marie Louise Murphy, 70, appeared at the High Court in Wellington on Friday morning. She pleaded not guilty to all charges through her counsel and did not seek continued name suppression. A second defendant, 75, who still has name suppression, appeared alongside her and also pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Witnesses have painted a picture of complicated relationships, financial difficulties and alcoholism, as the trial of Julia DeLuney, charged with killing her mother, continues. Helen Gregory, aged 79, died at her Khandallah home in January 2024.
