The legal case against a woman charged with the murder of a baker and his young daughter in Queensland has been delayed after the police prosecution requested more time to complete a brief of evidence.
Kristen Leslie Olsen, 24, remained in custody and was not required to appear when her matter was briefly mentioned in the Maryborough Magistrates' Court Monday morning.
Ms Olsen has been charged with two counts of murder and one count of arson over the deaths of Todd Mooney, 54, and his daughter Kirra, 10, on December 20, 2022.
Their bodies were found in a burnt shed on a property in Biggenden in Queensland's North Burnett.
Ms Olsen is also charged with three counts of arson and one count of stealing, which is related to an alleged incident on the same day.
More time to compile evidence
Police in January requested up to eight weeks to complete their brief of evidence for the seven charges against Ms Olsen.
Ms Olsen's defence solicitor Bradford Hill told the court on Monday via telephone that he was yet to receive the brief.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Claire Bibby explained the brief was not finished and more time was needed.
Magistrate John Milburn adjourned the matter for a committal mention on April 3.
