The charge against Sandeson was laid Aug. 20, four days after Samson was reported missing in Halifax.
Police have said the two men knew each other.
On Tuesday, Judge Anne Derrick committed Sandeson to stand trial after a preliminary inquiry that began in February and wrapped up earlier this month.
Sandeson is scheduled to appear in Nova Scotia Supreme Court next month to set trial dates.
