Director of Public Prosecutions solicitor Andrew Hanshaw asked for six additional weeks to serve outstanding material in the brief of evidence against Coolamon’s Samuel John Shephard.
The 27-year-old was last seen in Coolamon on the afternoon of August 10. Her body is yet to be recovered.
Shephard, 37, is alleged to have committed the murder between 2pm and midnight on August 10 at Coolamon.
Mr Hanshaw said a partial brief of evidence had already been served.
Anthony Shane Hagan, 19, is also accused of the same murder.
His case was also delayed until March 14 for outstanding material to be served by March 7.
Hagan, of Mount Austin, is also charged with possession of a prohibited drug, supplying a prohibited drug, possession of an unauthorised firearm, possession of ammunition without a licence and not keeping a firearm safely.
Solicitor David Barron, acting for Hagan, told the court his client was “in transit”, requesting an additional week to speak with Hagan when he returned to Junee Correctional Centre.
Shephard is also charged with one count of supplying a commercial quantity of a prohibited drug, supplying drugs on an ongoing basis and knowingly dealing with proceeds of crime.
Police allege Shephard supplied 507.5 grams of methamphetamine between July 17 and October 26 last year.
