Three men charged over the kidnapping and killing of Perth mother Peta Fairhead will fight the charges at trial.
The 27-year-old mother was pronounced dead shortly after being found dumped outside the emergency department of Joondalup Health Campus in the early hours of August 3, 2016.
Ross Boag, Lucas James Yarran and Leroy Smith are accused of stealing from Ms Fairhead before kidnapping her and unlawfully killing her.
The trio pleaded not guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter at Stirling Gardens Magistrate Court on Wednesday, after having the murder charges against them discontinued.
Each of them have denied storming the Ridgewood home Ms Fairhead was in armed with a baseball bat and machete and stealing from the mother-of-three and two others.
They have also denied kidnapping Ms Fairhead and unlawfully killing her.
Ms Fairhead, who had reportedly moved to Secret Harbour from the Wheatbelt town of Quairading only a few months prior to her death, had two young sons and a daughter.
The three men, aged between 19 and 20, were remanded in custody to appear in the Supreme Court on April 10.
