A Melbourne man has pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of his New Zealand-born wife. Borce Ristevski, who is 54, was due to face a Supreme Court trial after being charged with murdering Karen Ristevski, who was found dead in bushland in February 2017. Stephanie Ferrier from ABC Melbourne tells our producer Siobhan Wilson that Thursday's guilty plea came as a surprise.
