Guilty plea to killing silence

A YOUNG woman has pleaded guilty to failing to report the killing of an overseas University of Tasmania student.

Jazmin Iris Haygarth, 18, of Moonah, appeared in the Supreme Court in Hobart today in relation to the death of 26-year-old Chinese woman Zhang '"Tina" Yu.

Haygarth pleaded guilty to failing to report the killing of Ms Yu in New Town between June 25 and June 30 this year.

Justice Helen Wood made a suppression order regarding the publication of the details of Haygarth's crime.

She will sentence Haygarth on Friday.

Last month John Edward Mollineaux, 44, received a six-month suspended jail term for the same offence.

Stavros Papadopoulos, 21, of New Town Rd, New Town, and Daniel Joseph Williams, 21, of Channel Highway, Kingston, have been charged with Ms Yu's murder.

Both have pleaded not guilty and are due to face court again in February.
