A murder investigation was launched after Takena Tiepa-Ranapia's body was found outside a house in Ohauiti on November 30 last year.

These are the charges she is jointly accused of with Paul Taki, 37, and Hiakita Eruera, 36. Read more about their charges here.

She has entered a not guilty plea on the remaining charges and has been released on bail to reappear in court on March 24.

A post-mortem revealed Takena was a victim of an assault earlier in the night.
