The indictment alleges he did this to "avoid detection, arrest and prosecution".
He also faces an earlier allegation of having two knives on 20 May 2021.
Ms Wilson's friend Ashley Brown told the High Court in Glasgow that she was in phone contact with her that day.
It was claimed Ms Wilson was going to the Beatson hospital with Mr Walker after work. The pair were also stated to have plans to tell Mr Walker's wife about their relationship that day.
