Man admits he killed teacher found in a wheelie bin
A Melbourne man has admitted to killing a teacher whose body was found inside a wheelie bin last year.
Stephen Fleming entered a guilty plea to manslaughter in the Victorian Supreme Court on Thursday after he was originally charged with the murder of Annette Brennan.
He admitted to killing the 67-year-old English teacher in Coolaroo, in Melbourne's north, on July 1, 2024.
Tip workers found Brennan's body while moving green waste at a facility in Epping on July 3, the court was previously told.
Fleming faced a sentence indication hearing on Tuesday, but the court was closed to the media.
Details of the manslaughter were not read out during Thursday's brief arraignment hearing.
Justice Christopher Beale remanded Fleming in custody ahead of his plea hearing in September.

Millions of pieces of evidence collected in Brisbane Russian spy case
Federal prosecutors sifting through millions of pieces of evidence in the case against accused Russian spies have asked for more time, with many documents still yet to be translated into English more than a year after the couple were arrested in Brisbane. Kira Korolev, 41, and her husband Igor Korolev, 63, were taken into custody at their quiet Everton Park home on Brisbane's northside in July last year following a major Federal Police and ASIO foreign interference investigation. Both face charges of preparing for an espionage offence, with the AFP alleging Kira Korelev, who held a role with the Australian army as an information systems technician, travelled to Russia while on leave and instructed her husband to send sensitive material from her work account so it could be shared with foreign authorities. The curious case was heard with little fanfare between dozens of routine alleged crimes at Brisbane Magistrate Court on Friday morning. Loading Commonwealth prosecutor Ellie McDonald requested the case be delayed about three months, citing large quantities of evidence including documents that still required translation from Russian. 'We'll be seeking another lengthy adjournment,' she told the court. 'If I can indicate the scale of material in relation to this matter, there were originally 9 million items tagged on the devices … of which there were 12.' McDonald confirmed a third brief of evidence was served this week.

Accused cold case killer bailed but case against him 'not weak'
Your web browser is no longer supported. To improve your experience update it here An accused murderer will walk from court after a judge found his special vulnerabilities will make his time in custody more difficult. Victorian Supreme Court Justice Rita Incerti granted bail to Steven Johnson, 73, this morning, five months after he was charged with the murder of Christopher Jarvis. Johnson, who was seated in the dock wearing a neck brace, pulled off his glasses and wiped away tears as he learnt of the decision. Christopher Jarvis disappeared and his car was found burnt out in 2006. His body was never found but investigators believe it is buried in the forest. (Victoria Police) (Nine) "Thank you, Your Honour," Johnson told Justice Incerti. "I will obey all those (bail) orders, as I have previously." Jarvis, 38, was last seen leaving his home in Wangoom, near Warrnambool, in Victoria's west, in June 2006. His body has not yet been found but police believe it is buried in Framlingham Forest, a native woodland owned by an Indigenous trust. Johnson was first charged with Jarvis' murder in November 2022 but the charge was dropped in August 2023. His alleged co-accused Glenn Fenwick ultimately pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter after agreeing to make a statement to police against Johnson. Fenwick, who could be released on parole as early as October, claims he joined Johnson in confronting Jarvis over outstanding rent. It's alleged Johnson struck Jarvis in his driveway, threw him to the ground and then fired a starter pistol near his ear when he would not stop screaming for help. Fenwick claims he only helped hold Jarvis down and then load him into the boot of the car, before they all drove to Framlingham Forest. It's alleged Johnson then struck Jarvis to the head with a baseball bat before removing his clothes and burying him in a shallow grave. Johnson's barrister Patrick Doyle SC on Thursday argued the prosecution case against his client was weak as it centred around Fenwick's evidence.

(AAP Image/Joel Carrett) (AAP) There were discrepancies in Fenwick's story and the fact he made the statement to receive a discounted sentence would give a jury reason to pause, Doyle said. But Justice Incerti today found the prosecution's case against Johnson could not be described as weak, although there were triable issues. She accepted much of the evidence against Johnson came from Fenwick and the ultimate strength or weakness of his account would be examined at a committal hearing in January. "Credibility and reliability will be a central issue in this case," Justice Incerti said. The judge pointed to Johnson's "special vulnerabilities" including his age and medical conditions as exceptional reasons why he should be granted bail. She noted those vulnerabilities have made his time in custody more difficult, as he has not received some of the medical care he needed. Justice Incerti also rejected prosecution claims Johnson was an unacceptable risk of contacting Fenwick or moving Jarvis' body if released. She said a series of bail conditions, including a no-contact order and a ban from entering Framlingham Forest, could alleviate any concerns. Johnson's wife put forward a $500,000 surety as part of his bail, while the 74-year-old will also have to follow a 9pm to 6am curfew. He will return to Warrnambool Magistrates Court in January for his committal hearing.
