A man accused of killing his 18-year-old girlfriend at Metford ast year is set to stand trial charged with murder.
Emerald Wardle was found dead in the bedroom of a Galway Crescent home in June 2020.
Her boyfriend, 21-year-old Jordan Miller called triple-oh, telling police he was hearing voices.
He faced Newcastle Local Court via video link on Wednesday.
His solicitor told the court he was willing to plead guilty to manslaughter, but this was rejected by the Crown Prosecutor.
The case has been adjourned to Sydney's Supreme Court next month for a trial date to be set.
