It remains unknown how or why Young (pictured) is alleged to have murdered Ms McGuire
It remains unknown how or why Young is alleged to have murdered Ms McGuire. He will be kept behind bars until his next court date in September.
Ms McGuire had bought a house with Young just short of a year before he is alleged to have murdered her.
She was pictured smiling from ear-to-ear next to a large 'sold' sign alongside her then-partner outside the home in Sebastopol,near Ballarat in regional Victoria.
The snapshot of happiness was taken almost a year to the day before Young appeared in court to face charges of murdering Ms McGuire.
She had lived with Young up until a week before she was allegedly murdered.
Her death had initially been dismissed as a suicide but a coroner's report indicated she had allegedly sustained deadly injuries before the car was engulfed in flames.
