Ex-stripper due to face Vic murder trial

A former stripper accused of killing her fiance more than a decade ago in Melbourne is due to face a four-week trial in April.

Robyn Lindholm is charged with murder of 38-year-old George Teazis, also known as George Templeton, who was last seen in May 2005.

Mr Teazis disappeared from the Reservoir home the pair shared with his teenage son, and his body has never been found.

Police allege Lindholm murdered Mr Teazis between May 2 and May 3, 2005.

Lindholm faced the Supreme Court of Victoria on Wednesday via video link.

During a pre-trial committal hearing last year, Melbourne Magistrates Court was told of an ornate 1920s couch that mysteriously disappeared from the couple's house after Teazis went missing.

A friend of the pair also told the court the couple seemed "very happy".

Lindholm's trial is expected to commence April 4 before Justice Lex Lasry.
