Daniel Billings, 30, is charged with murdering Ms Ticehurst at her home in Forbes, central western NSW, in the early hours of April 22, 2024. "They are in a fragile place, but we have done a lot of work over the last seven weeks since the last appearance in court," Ms Elston said. The case was adjourned to Forbes Local Court in November. Ms Ticehurst's death intensified a national movement against domestic and gendered violence. Legal documents before the court accused Billings of threatening to cause Ms Ticehurst further physical harm during the alleged aggravated sexual assault.
