31 year old Marcus Lee has been formally refused bail in Newcastle Local Court, charged with the murder of 27 year old Raymond Terrace woman, Trisha Cobeanou.
A body, believed to be that of Ms Cobenou, who had been reported missing for three weeks, was found in the boot of a car in the Newcastle suburb of Lambton on Monday.
The vehicle had no number plates and was thought to have been parked there for around two weeks.
Police allege the Edgeworth man murdered the 27 year old, sometime between the hours of 3.30 and 5.30 on the morning of the 17th of April at Islington.
