A 50-year-old man has pleaded not guilty to murdering Whanganui woman Lorna-Anne Marie Thompson
3 September 2019
Labour MP Kiri Allan's brother - Eric Mete - is accused of murdering the 41 year old, on or before April 6.
Police found her body in her upstairs flat days later.
Allan has said she was not brought up with her brother - but his children are still her nieces and nephews.
She said it's been an extremely trying time for her whanau, but their aroha has been with the victim and all her whanau.
Mete will go on trial in the High Court at Whanganui in September next year.
