Police remain at the house where Ms Marshall died in Main Street, but are expected to finish their investigation at the property later today. 

A single floral tribute for Ms Marshall has been left outside the residence.

Mr Drake did not enter a plea and his lawyer did not apply for bail. 

Magistrate Tamara Jago remanded him in custody until his next court appearance on July 15, when he will appear by video link.
