Former Beauty and the Geek contestant filmed in strange display prior to alleged murder of partner
Exclusive vision has been obtained by 7NEWS of a former reality TV star performing a strange stunt only days before she was accused of murder in South Australia.
The former Beauty and the Geek contestant is accused of brutally killing her partner at a unit they shared in Port Lincoln on South Australia's Eyre Peninsula.
The man's body was found inside the home, following a fire on Thursday afternoon.
The woman was arrested at the scene and taken to a local hospital, where she was charged with murder.
In a bizarre twist, 7NEWS obtained footage of the woman standing on Port Lincoln war memorial wearing a white veil just weeks before the alleged crime.
The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, can be seen standing in a while dress holding a dark object in one hand being filmed by concerned members of the public.
It is understood she had recently moved in with the man she is alleged to have murdered.
Witness Jody Miller told 7NEWS he was one of the first on scene attempting to put out the fire, unaware of the body of a man lay inside.
'It's devastating,' Miller said.
'This doesn't happen in a small town like Port Lincoln.'
A court order has been placed over details of the case, however, police have said the unit is a complex scene.
Officers and forensics teams continue to gather evidence from within the unit, while police continue searches across town to piece together the woman's movement prior to the fire.
The woman faced court on Friday via phone link and has been remanded in custody.
She did not apply for bail and will face court again at a later date.

Former Beauty and the Geek star, 34, charged with murder after man found dead inside Port Lincoln home in South Australia
A former reality television star has been charged with murder after the body of her suspected partner was found inside a home in South Australia. Emergency services were called to a property on Flinders Highway in Port Lincoln on Thursday afternoon following reports of a small fire. Police officers went inside the house and found a deceased man. A 34-year-old woman was arrested at the scene and was later charged with murder. According to 7News, she had featured on reality show Beauty and the Geek. The show features a group of socially awkward but intellectual men who are paired up with beautiful women. They live in a mansion and compete for a cash prize. Detectives from the Major Crime Investigation Branch and Forensic Response Section officers flew to Port Lincoln on Thursday to assist local police with the investigation. Forensic officers spent several hours processing the crime scene. SA Police State Operations Service Assistant Commissioner Ian Parrott said it is not known how long the man had been dead for and refused to comment on his injuries. He stressed to the public that the incident was not "random". "We understand that the female who has been arrested and the deceased male both lived at this address," he said at a press conference on Friday. Neighbours were shocked to hear the news, describing the woman as "really nice". Another said he tried to put the fire out but it was "too smoky". It is understood the couple recently moved in together. The woman faced court via video link from Port Lincoln Hospital under police guard. She is being held under a mental health order and is due to front court in December. The accused cannot be named due to a suppression order. Police encourage anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Ezra Miller gives bizarre interview about ‘tentative' Hollywood return after shocking Cannes appearance
Don't miss out on the headlines from Celebrity Life. Followed categories will be added to My News. Ezra Miller gave a rare — and peculiar — interview in which they addressed their return to Hollywood as well as their extremely surprising Cannes appearance earlier this year. The actor posed on the red carpet for the first time in two years at the Filming Italy Sardegna Festival in Cagliari, Italy, on Thursday and told Italian outlet, Lo Speciale Giornale, that their relationship to cinema is now 'on tentative grounds'. Miller — who had a slew of legal issues in 2022 — also spoke out about their blink-and-you-miss-it red carpet appearance at Cannes in May, during which they sprinted across the media line at the premiere of Lynne Ramsey's Die, My Love, reports The New York Post'sPage Six. 'I came to Cannes to support one of my closest friends in the world who is Lynne Ramsey — who I think is one of the greatest living filmmakers,' Miller said of Ramsey, who previously directed Miller in 2011's We Need to Talk About Kevin. Miller claimed they're writing an unnamed film with Ramsey, and added, 'that will likely be the first thing I do' when returning to Hollywood. 'I've been writing a lot, because you can do that in solitude,' Miller remarked, 'which has been friendly to me'. Miller has given a peculiar new interview. Picture: YouTube They also said they'd 'do anything' for Ramsey, despite Cannes being a 'tough re-entry point' to the industry. 'If you've been in the woods for three years, I do not recommend going straight to Cannes, where every photographer and every weirdo, every rich genocidal freak be there, you know what I mean?' The Perks of Being a Wallflower star was memorably arrested and charged in Hawaii following two alleged incidents at a karaoke bar in March 2022, to which they pleaded no contest. Then, they were hit with a restraining order by two residents claiming they harassed and threatened them, which was later dropped. X SUBSCRIBER ONLY A month later, Miller was arrested on a second degree assault chair after they allegedly threw a chair and hit a woman during an encounter at a private residence. In June 2022, a parent accused Miller of grooming their child from the age of 12. Another parent came forward the same month with an allegation that Miller 'menaced their family one evening in their downstairs neighbour's home and acted inappropriately toward' a 12-year-old minor. No charges were filed against Miller and they later released a statement saying, 'I have been unjustly and directly targeted by an individual who the facts have shown has a history of such manipulative and destructive action'. That same month they were accused of allegedly housing a mother and her three children in an unsafe environment at a Vermont farm — though by August, Miller told cops the family hadn't lived there in months. Miller as The Flash in a scene from the DC film. Also in August 2022, Miller was accused of burglarising a Vermont home and allegedly stealing several bottles of alcohol. They pleaded guilty to misdemeanour unlawful trespass and was put on one-year probation. Miller issued an apology later that month and announced they were seeking treatment. 'Having recently gone through a time of intense crisis, I now understand that I am suffering complex mental health issues and have begun ongoing treatment,' they told Variety at the time. 'I want to apologise to everyone that I have alarmed and upset with my past behaviour. I am committed to doing the necessary work to get back to a healthy, safe and productive stage in my life.' The actor has been at the centre of a series of controversies in recent years. Picture:During the interview with the Italian outlet on Thursday, Miller seemingly addressed the drama, waxing philosophical in a rambling set of comments. 'When we go through those crucibles, if we can survive, which was up in the air for me if I'm being real, we then have that capacity to see other people in their crucibles and just to reach towards them,' they said. 'I think that grows more and more rarefied in our world too. Like, the capacity to do that, the desire to do that, the willingness to do that,' they continued. 'We've become very consumed in notions of perception, self-perception, how we're perceived in the world. I really believe in digging past that and being a friend to people. And the people who did that for me, they have my lifelong devotion,' they explained. 'And also I'm grateful for the revelations of who was not that,' they said. 'When you work in this industry, you'll find yourself in deep, deep relation with a lot of people who do not give a single f**k about you, or your well-being, at all. And so, not that I don't hold a lot of remorse and lamentation for a lot of things that I did and a lot of things that happened in that time, but I'm really, really grateful for the lessons that came with that abyss.'
