A 21-year-old man will face a Supreme Court trial for his alleged murder of Hannah McGuire, after he elected to have his case fast-tracked in front of more than 50 of her supporters. Lachlan Young, wearing a maroon T-shirt, faced Ballarat Magistrates Court by video link from prison on Thursday, when he formally pleaded not guilty to the 23-year-old woman’s murder. McGuire’s body was found in a burnt-out car in Scarsdale, about 25km south of Ballarat, on April 5.
Magistrate Michelle Mykytowycz informed the court Young had chosen to fast-track his case to the Supreme Court, meaning he will not face a committal hearing in the lower court. “Mr Young has elected to stand trial,” she said. “The effect of this is that his matter will now be fast-tracked to the Supreme Court. “It is important to remember that the election of the accused to stand trial is a different process to the accused being committed.
