Alberto Giraldo-Tascon, 56, also denied preventing a lawful and proper burial of Luz Margory Isaza Villegas on 13th January this year.
Ms Villegas, 50, of Ritcroft Street, Hemel Hempstead was last seen by her neighbours in the early afternoon of Saturday (Jan 12) and spoke to a family member on the phone just before 3.20pm on the same day.
