A man accused of murdering pregnant woman Athena Georgopoulos and her partner Andrew Gunn in Melbourne’s south-east has pleaded not guilty and will stand trial.
Ross Judd, 35, is charged over the deaths of 39-year-old Georgopoulos and 50-year-old Gunn, whose bodies were found inside a Mount Waverley unit on August 11, 2025. Judd was arrested at a train station later that evening.
Georgopoulos was found dead following a disturbance at the property, which was later seen covered in graffiti.
Judd appeared via video link in the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court, where the matter was committed to the Supreme Court. During the brief hearing, he entered not guilty pleas to two counts of murder.
Family members of the deceased watched proceedings by video link. Defence lawyer Angie Wong told the court that while mental impairment was not being raised at this stage, fitness to stand trial would be.
Judd has been remanded in custody and will appear in the Supreme Court for a directions hearing on March 18.
