A Christchurch woman will likely stand trial in February for the murder of Cory James Protos in the city last year.
Zariah Jay Samson, 23, denies murdering 30-year-old Mr Protos - who is originally from Ashburton - on April 27 last year.
Police believe he was killed at an inner city Conference St property before his body was moved to a Bryndwr house, where it was found.
In the High Court at Christchurch today Justice Cameron Mander set down a proposed three-week trial to begin on February 8 next year.
A pre-trial hearing was arranged for October 30.
