Murder-accused Borce Ristevski won't stand trial until 2019

Accused wife-killer Borce Ristevski will have to wait until March next year to stand trial for the alleged murder of his wife, Karen Ristevski.

In a directions hearing this morning, Mr Ristevski learned the commencement date for his murder trial will be March 12, 2019.

The 54-year-old will face an estimated four to five week trial in the Victorian Supreme Court.

Mr Ristevski was ordered to stand trial for murder on Thursday last week, with Magistrate Sue Cameron finding there was enough evidence against the accused.

The court heard the prosecution is relying heavily on alleged post-offence conduct.

Mr Ristevski has entered a formal not guilty plea to the charge of murder.

During a two-week committal hearing last month, a secretly recorded discussion between murder-accused and his daughter, Sarah, was played in court, revealing she thought his story "didn't make sense" after her mum went missing.

The Melbourne Magistrate’s Court also heard about searches on the family iPad that were made on July 1 and 2 after Mrs Ristevski disappeared.

The searches allegedly included, 'how to delete and disable your Google history?', 'where to find map that shows Google is tracking your location', 'find location history in Google Maps on iPhone' and 'Apple Maps timeline Google search'.

Prosecutor Matt Fisher told the court Mrs Ristevski's death "isn't an accidental killing", and that there is enough evidence for a jury to convict the father of murder.
