AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd pleads not guilty to charges

(BBC) The drummer of hard rock band AC/DC has pleaded not guilty to charges of threatening to kill and possession of drugs.


Phil Rudd was excused from appearing in New Zealand's Tauranga District Court, with his lawyer entering his plea.

The 60-year-old Australian-born musician was originally charged with attempting to procure the murder of two men.

That charge was dropped because of a lack of evidence.

In an earlier ruling, the names of the alleged murder targets and that of the alleged hit-man were suppressed.

Crown prosecutor Greg Hollister-Jones on Tuesday applied for witness names and any statements they made to be suppressed, according to New Zealand media outlet stuff.co.nz.
