Jill Meagher murder accused expected to admit guilt

The man accused of the murder of Irish journalist Jill Meagher in Melbourne is expected to plead guilty in court tomorrow.

Adrian Bayley pleaded guilty to three counts of rape, but not guilty to the murder charge a month ago.

He is due to stand trial in September.

It is reported in Australia Mr Bayley wanted the Office of Public Prosecutions to reduce the charge to manslaughter.

However, he is now believed to have indicated he will enter a guilty plea tomorrow.

It is expected he will then be arraigned for a plea hearing at a later date.
