AN ERITH couple have denied child neglect and the manslaughter of their six-month old son.

Nkosiyapha Kunene, 35, and Virginia Kunene, 31, of Carlton Road, appeared at the Old Bailey on Friday.

They will now go on trial at the same court on February 10 next year.

The pair were arrested in March this year after their son Ndingeko Kunene was pronounced dead on June 14 last year.
