Accused Bourke St driver Dimitrious Gargasoulas has pleaded not guilty to murdering six people and trying to kill another 28 pedestrians.

Gargasoulas, 27, on Friday pleaded not guilty via video link at the Melbourne Magistrates Court to 39 offences, including six counts of murder and 28 counts of attempted murder, over the Bourke St rampage on January 20.

He is accused of driving through the Melbourne CBD, deliberately striking pedestrians around Bourke and Queen streets before police shot and wounded him. 

Gargasoulas also waived his right to a pre-trial committal hearing, so his case will go straight to the Victorian Supreme Court. 

More to come.
