Daniel Billings Faces New Charges in Molly Ticehurst Murder Case

The accused, already charged with murder and other offenses, will undergo a mental assessment as fresh charges are added ahead of a March 2025 court hearing.

• Daniel Billings, 29, accused of murdering his former partner Molly Ticehurst in April, now faces four additional charges, including sexual assault and property damage.
• The alleged murder occurred while Billings was out on bail for prior charges related to Ticehurst, including sexual assault, stalking, and animal cruelty.
• The new charges include aggravated sexual intercourse without consent, another count of sexual intercourse without consent, and two counts of recklessly damaging property.
• Ticehurst's death has fueled public calls for action against gendered violence and prompted changes to New South Wales bail laws.
• Billings' case has been adjourned to March 21, 2025, with his legal team preparing for a mental health assessment following the filing of charge certification documents.
