Teenager accused of murdering Vyleen White in Redbank Plains expected to enter plea this month
The teenager accused of killing 70-year-old Ipswich woman Vyleen White is expected to enter a plea later this month, a court has heard.
Ms White suffered a fatal stab wound at a shopping centre car park in Redbank Plains, south-west of Brisbane, in February last year.
It is alleged the then 16-year-old, who cannot be named under Queensland's youth justice laws, stabbed her before stealing her car.
The now 17-year-old was committed to stand trial in March on several charges including murder and unlawful use of a motor vehicle.
On Wednesday, those charges were presented in the Supreme Court in Brisbane.
The teen was not required to appear during the indictment, but the court heard he would be present for an arraignment.
This was set down for about three weeks' time, where he will be asked to formally enter a plea.
He was remanded in custody until his matter returns to court.
