The man accused of killing a fellow Dalhousie University student is making another bid to get out of jail as he awaits his first-degree murder trial.

William Sandeson is charged in the death last August of Taylor Samson, 22, whose body has never been found. Both were Dalhousie students.

Sandeson was denied bail at a hearing in October.

In Nova Scotia Supreme Court Thursday, Sandeson's lawyer indicated he wants to return to court later this month to set dates for a bail review.

Sandeson was committed to stand trial last month following a preliminary inquiry.
