No particulars of the police allegations have as yet been aired in open court.

Mr Bouchier told the court on Monday that he was still waiting for some bank records and asked for an adjournment so those could be disclosed and considered.

Magistrate Louise Shephard therefore adjourned the case for mention back in the same court on October 2 and remanded Ms Marshall on bail.
