The alleged killer of 21-year-old Adelaide woman Jasmeen Kaur has pleaded not guilty to her murder.
A year after aged care worker and nursing student Jasmeen Kaur's body was found in a shallow grave in South Australia's far north, Tarikjot Singh has pleaded not guilty.
He is accused of kidnapping Ms Kaur in March last year.
Her body was found a few days later in the Flinders Ranges, north of Hawker, almost five hours' drive from where she was allegedly taken.
Mr Singh's lawyer told the Port Augusta Magistrates Court today that the accused was COVID-positive so could not appear, but would plead not guilty to her murder.
He will be arraigned in the Supreme Court in July.
She was reported missing after working a shift at the Southern Cross Care aged home in North Plympton on March 5, 2021.
Her employer, Southern Cross Care, described her as a beautiful soul who was kind and sweet to residents.
