Three men have denied murdering a South Auckland woman who was shot and killed in her home last January.

Viliami Mounga He Ofa Iongi, Manu Hori Iongi and Falala Iongi are jointly charged with the murder of 57-year-old Meliame Fisi'ihoi.

In front of a packed public gallery, they made a brief appearance in the High Court at Auckland on Wednesday morning, where the not guilty pleas were entered.

The men will go to trial in May 2022.

Justice Fitzgerald remanded them all in custody.
