A man has admitted killing a teacher whose body was found inside a wheelie bin in Melbourne last year.
Stephen Fleming formally 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 at Coolaroo in the city's north on July 1, 2024.
Tip workers found Ms 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.
The killer only spoke to formally enter his plea of guilty.
