Overview

• Daniel Billings faces 17 charges, including the alleged domestic violence murder of Molly Ticehurst in April 2024.
• Ticehurst's death led to significant reforms in New South Wales bail laws, introducing stricter 'show cause' requirements and electronic monitoring for domestic violence offenders.
• Billings had been on bail for prior offences involving Ticehurst, including sexual assault, stalking, and property damage, when the alleged murder occurred.
• Magistrate Michael Maher ordered legal representatives to appear in person for the June 20 committal hearing, with Billings appearing remotely from custody.
• Crown prosecutor Shaun Croner confirmed ongoing negotiations between legal parties, necessitating a brief adjournment before the case proceeds to a higher court.
