An American man accused of killing his newlywed wife while they were on honeymoon in Fiji has pleaded not guilty and denied confessing to police that he committed the crime.

Bradly Robert Dawson, 38, appeared in Lautoka High Court on Wednesday over the murder of Christe Chen, 36, and requested bail due to his health and his mother’s reliance on him.
