Chris Minns has asked a top lawyer for legal advice regarding potential changes to the Bail Act after Molly Ticehurst was allegedly murdered by her ex-partner.

The NSW Government has sought advice from a top lawyer to determine if urgent bail reform is needed after the alleged murder of a young Forbes mother.

The Crown Advocate, who provides legal advice to the state government, will look into the decisions made in the lead up to Molly Ticehurst’s alleged murder, including to grant her alleged killer bail in the weeks prior. The advice will be returned by the end of May. Emergency services found the body of Ticehurst, 28, at a home in Forbes just after 2am on Monday. Daniel Billings, 29, was later arrested and charged with murder and contravening an apprehended violence order.
