The man charged with murder and attempted murder over a double shooting in Coromandel has pleaded not guilty in the High Court at Hamilton.

Stuart Edmondson appeared before Justice Muir on Tuesday and was supported by about a dozen people in the public gallery.

Kevin Mark Mabbott died about 2pm at Waiau on The 309 Road, and Aaron Buckland was airlifted to Auckland City Hospital with a gunshot wound.

Judge Muir ordered Mr Edmondson to remain in custody until his next appearance in February.
