The man accused of murdering 23-year-old Ashleigh Grice in Mullumbimby nearly four months ago is to have his case mentioned in court again next month.
Police arrested 29-year-old Jai Oden-Jenkins on 20 September, 2025, and charged him with Ms Grice’s domestic violence murder.
Officers said the two had been intimate partners.
Oden-Jenkins was refused bail and remains behind bars after first appearing by video link in the Lismore Local Court on 26 November, 2025.
He was not required to appear when the matter was mentioned in the same court again on Wednesday.
The court heard police were still examining a post-mortem report received late last year.
The case is due for its first mention in the Lismore District Court on the eleventh of February.
